The boys and I headed out to the Experience Music Project/SciFi Museum. Steve and I wanted to see an exhibit at the latter as we are about 3/4 through a series called Battlestar Gallactica (the new one) and wanted to see the "real" ships there. The boys were really antsy and Jack was starting to feel ill (we didn't totally know this yet). So Steve ended up seeing a little more than me but it wasn't all that exciting of a place. Certainly far less memorable than the Gehry-designed building with a monorail running through it!
On the monorail
We then took the monorail again to the city center and walked around a bit. Nate fell asleep and then we headed to yet another form of transportation - a streetcar. we took it to the base of Lake Union and checked out some boats and a seaplane dock.
On the streetcar
I think we covered planes, taxis, ferries, rental minivan, monorail, streetcar and moving walk way during the trip. Not too bad.
We then returned on home to finish up the packing my mom had started.
Later in the day Jack was sick to his stomach, but then seemed better. We figured he was just really overtired.
Friday-
We woke up and packed up the car. Jack seemed to be doing ok so off we went. Unfortunately Jack was indeed still sick and threw up all over Steve at the gate about 10 minutes before boarding. Luckily Steve is thin and I wear long running shorts as he was able to get out of his filthy jeans and fit into the change of clothes I had brought. (He had been wearing layers on top so just removed his heavier shirt). Also lucky he was wearing running shoes so he looked quite normal, even if he was a little freaked out by the length of the shorts.
Nate sat with me on the plane and was quite well behaved - though I would have preferred his nap start before our initial descent;/
Jack continued to be sick on the plane, but nobody seemed to notice/mind. He slept much of the way and just vegged out. When we got home he had a pedialyte pop and was pretty much fine from there!

OH NO! I'm sorry to hear Jack was sick and threw up. We've dealt with a similar situation before. Carolyn once threw up all over me right before we left our hotel for the airport. Thankfully I could change us into clean clothes there, but then we had a 6 hour flight ahead of us. By some miracle she held off and didn't throw up again until we made it to our house many hours later.
And kids ALWAYS fall asleep on descent don't they? That has happened on many, many flights.
