Five Ways to Get the Travel Bug.
June 02, 2009
The end of school often means the beginning of the travel season. The current state of our economy may mean that many of us will be enjoying another year of "staycations". You and your preschooler can still get the travel bug, while hitting up these local travel inspirations - whether it be by air, land or sea!
The first segment of the Seattle Link Light Rail project is scheduled to open in July. Pack your backpacks, pay your fair, and get on the rail at the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. You can head south to venture to another travel-themed destination...
...The Sea-Tac Airport! You can watch planes take off and land and talk about all the places you want to go and have been.
No talk of airplanes would be complete without a visit to the Museum of Flight. You can check out planes up close, sit in cockpits and enjoy the Kid's Flight Zone. (PSSST. Wells Fargo Bank hosts Free First Thurdays every month from 5pm to 9pm.)
Water travel more appealing? Did you know that the Washington State Ferries System has the distinction of being home to the largest fleet of passenger and vehicles ferries in the United States and the third largest in the world? You can plan just an afternoon trip toBainbridge Island or a whole day to Canada.
You can always enjoy a Seattle park tradition - have lunch at Freeway Park! Listen to the cars and trucks below and splash in the fountain's water. Perfect for a summer day!

One, Two, Three...Count With Me!
February 03, 2009
Counting to ten seems to be on the "Top Ten" (pun intended) list of "Skills for your child to develop" list. With my first child, I can distinctly remember being in the car with him and making a game of counting. It was so adorable to hear him repeat the numbers back to me; all in his own little accent. My three-and-a-half year old, while mastering MOST numbers, still gets a bit confused Read more...
Five Seattle Savvy posts I'm thankful for.
November 28, 2008
Even though I actually wrote these posts; these are the ones that I keep coming back to. For reference, for details, or, simply, for laughs. Enjoy and Happy Black Friday! 1. It NEVER rains in Seattle, so you'll NEVER need this post about rainy day fun . NEVER. 2. Is your preschooler from Seattle? You'll know when you read this post. (PSST. This is one of the funny ones.) 3. Here we cover all Read more...
A patriotic way to spend your Saturday.
November 07, 2008
The turn into fall and the upcoming Veteran's holiday leaves little preschooler events available this weekend. But, there is a great Veteran's Day related event for your and your family to enjoy on Saturday. On Saturday, you can enjoy one of the largest Veteran's Day parades west of the Mississippi River. Each year, close to 200 parade entries, 20 bands Read more...
Layover Lifesavers: A Preschooler's Guide to the SeaTac Airport.
July 02, 2008
With the kids out of school for summer, it's the perfect time for travel. However, just like the high price of gas has upped the cost of most everything we purchase, it has also affected the airline industry. Ticket prices are higher; and you can expect your flights to be fuller and your in-flight time to be longer; all in the hope of saving some money for the airline. For travelers with Read more...
Too big, too little.
June 11, 2008
I have a question for all you Savvy parents out there. Even with as close in age as my children are (24 months apart), we find that there are some activities that are more suited to my 5-year-old than my 3-year-old and vice-versa. As much as we like to do things together "as a family" (as the two of them always say), I would like to be able to take my older child, Bubba, to some Read more...
