Beating the Heat

We're having a heat wave here in Seattle, with several days in the upper 80s/mid 90s, and Mama doesn't do so well with the heat now that she's a bona fide Pacific Northwesterner. So after Sofian got up from his nap, we headed to some air conditioning in the form of the Museum of Flight -- our first visit there. We've heard a lot of great things aboug it, especially from our pals Glenn and Lynn, whose boys have made it a favorite destination. We were hoping SoSo would take to it, and he certainly did, as the pics and vids below show.

After the museum, we headed down the the nearby Georgetown area of Seattle to our favorite pizza place, Stellar, which also offers some outside seating -- a favorite activity of Sofian's during the summer as he gets to watch a cavalcade of wheeled vehicles. (Mama and Papa also found a new favorite place -- Full Throttle Bottles, which sells loads of our favorite foreign and microbrew beers; we left with some Brother Thelonious -- Parie's new favorite -- and Laughing Buddha.)



And we ended the day with a nice cool bath.
