Family Hemp Fest

Me and my family (Justin, TJ, Mica, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma) drove to Seattle last week to visit with my Uncles and vacation.
As luck would have it the 2008 Seattle Hemp Fest was in that weekend. http://hempfest.org/drupal/
Not that me or my Family are Pot Smokers, we are just freedom lovers, and who doesn't love a festival?

Mica, Mom, Jeff, TJ & Larry on the way to Hemp fest at the out door S.A.M. (Seattle art museum) Art? at the S.A.M. Its more like a sad reminder of road construction.
We made a trip out to the Seattle Museum of Flight Restoration Center in Everett Washington. http://www.rbogash.com/Annex.htm
My Grandpa is a airplane fanatic. He has made and competed in model airplane contest all over the country. He loves things that fly. So we found a museum he had not been to yet. This is the place they restore old planes for the Boening museum of flight.
Justin learning how a propeller works.
Justin, TJ & Mica with the ET plane. they are ready to phone home.

Grandpa with his favorite plane. This plane is the first commercial air line. This is also the first plane my Grandpa modeled as a kid.
Justin with the Snoopy plane. Justin loves snoopy
Mica with the plane that looks the most like a something from Star Wars. Mica was very sad we were out of town during the release of the new Star Wars movie.
TJ with the wooden ____ , this is a glider

Me with a plane? It just looked nice I don't remember what it was

We also made a trip to Aquarium

TJ & Mica touching sea creatures.

Me and my favorite creature at the aquarium. (well a wood carving of one that is) the River otter. they are so cute and look like Maggie. We all missed Maggie. She spent the week with Amy and the Boys.

Mica taking a measurement of his quest to be the tallest man alive. He is getting there. Its good to have a goal Mica.

And TJ with his quest to be... well TJ

Justin with his quest to visit the Lenin statue in Fremont Seattle.
We also spent a day at Lake Washington Kayaking, swimming and relaxing.
Every minute we got watching the Olympics.
Justin got the ultimate Seattle souvenir an IPhone. TJ & Mica lightsaber fought all over Seattle. My mom spent the day at the Mall (probably her life long dream, our family seems to vacation to mall exclusively) My Grandma got to sit around and do nothing, her goal of the vacation. As always I can't wait to go back.
