We lunched at Red Robin and all shared a Mudd Pie (6 inches of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. They kids LOVED it.
They also gave the kids balloons, which helped with the wait. Glade absolutely loved his. Just look at that grin!
Then we went to the Naval Undersea Museum and enjoyed that. As usual, the kids have a very short attention span so we got separated from Ryan since he was reading a lot of captions.
Kim really enjoyed the actual submarine part where she could be the "pilot" and drive. It also had a console for firing missiles (never allow a 4-year-old to operate a nuclear submarine) and a periscope to look at.
After the musem we drove a little further North to a little town called Poulsbo. It had the cutest downtown and was on the water. We walked down by the boats and looked around a little bit.
We had planned to go to a splash park in Bremerton that I found on the internet. It was supposed to have wading pools and whales that spout 30 feet in the air. There was construction though and we didn't find it, much to Kim's dismay, so we headed home, crossing the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on the way. That is kind of an interesting story if you've got a few minutes.
It was great to have the afternoon together since Ryan had been working long hours in the Oral Surgery department this week. Neat destination too if anyone's looking for a place to visit.

Dusty's grandma lived in Paulsbo until just a few years ago. Heather, Dusty says that just 8 feet to the left and a little bit inland from where that picture was taken is a really big rock. His Grandpa and Uncle put it there (another blog incident caused by drinking... hmmmm...) and the town built a park around it. He was totaly excited to hear that you had gone there. Also, he says that the Point Defiance Zoo (right off of the freeway by the narrows bridge (he thinks)) which is really really cool.
You are right! That rock was right there, and it is very prominent.
We have a membership at the Pt Defiance Zoo. It is really pretty and well done.
Washington really has a lot of great attractions. It is one of the neatest places we have been.
