Alaskan Cruise Day 9: Seattle, WA

We were up early for one final breakfast by the pool before disembarking the Star Princess one last time around 9:00 AM.  We gathered our luggage and checked back into the same hotel we stayed in the first night of this vacation.


We used the public transit system to make our way to Chinatown for lunch.  Not knowing the food was served family style, we ordered way too much food, but it was very tasty.

We then made our way to the "Ride the Duck" tour.  (While we were waiting for our tour to begin, the Blue Angels flew over a couple of times.)  We started our tour on land, but then made our way to the water.  It was an interesting way to see that part of the city with some added information from our guide.  Sweet Emma fell asleep in my arms during the tour, and I loved every minute of that.

We went back to the hotel via the monorail and city subway/ train.  Memaw and Datt ordered pizza for dinner.  On the way to the pool area for dinner and some swimming, Emma missed a step or tripped or something and fell down 5-6 stairs.  Scared us all!!  She banged her nose and right cheekbone, and strangers from the pool area even came to check on her because of her screams.  Thankfully, she was not severely hurt.  We kept a close eye on her the rest of the evening, and saw no signs of concussion or anything  more than the bumps and bruises.  

So today we've been on a ship, car, subway train,  duck, monorail, and our own two feet.  It was an interesting but exhausting day.
