Seattle Aquarium
 
With a little extra time on our hands the morning of the wedding, we decided to drive into downtown Seattle to see their award-winning aquarium.   With the waterfront of Puget Sound behind, and  the big buildings of downtown in front, the aquarium occupies a unique and historic setting.  The kids really enjoyed it. 
Here are a few pictures from Seattle's downtown:
