Today was the opening day of the new light-rail transit system from the airport to downtown Seattle. To let people enjoy and experience it, today and tomorrow the trains are/were free. So we headed down to Tukwila, right next to SeaTac airport, and spent the day riding the train and hanging out in downtown Seattle. Here we are waiting in line to get on the train.
The girls were so excited as we waited for the train. The line was long, but trains came every seven minutes, so we didn't have to wait long at all. The ride was smooth, packed full of riders, and very exciting for our little ones. Here they are waiting for the train to leave the station.
Once we got to Seattle, we walked around and enjoyed the scenery and people downtown. We even found a cool waterfall sculpture where you can walk through the middle of the waterfall without getting too wet. Jadyn and I had a blast. Karina didn't think it looked like fun, so she just watched us and cheered us on.
After that, we headed into Westlake Mall and ate lunch at the food court, watching the monorail trains come by just on the other side of the glass windows from where we sat. It was a great day. We grabbed a cookie for dessert from Mrs Fields, and then headed back underground into the tunnels to catch the train back home.
It was a perfect, very fun and inexpensive day.
