Closer...

Every time Sir Swarls (aka The Intern) wears his red t-shirt with the word "closer" on it I have a hard time deciding whether he is making a statement that he is a closer, as in closing pitcher, or he is closer, as in "closer to crazy than other people".

Today I use the term "closer" as in "I am closer to vacation than last week."

Two Seattle City Passes arrived today in the mail via Air Miles. One more kids pass is on its way, and we'll have to fork out a few dollars for the fourth. But that means that we'll be shelling out a mere $39 US dollars for all four of us to:

• Travel to the top of the Space Needle
  
• Visit the aquarium
• Visit the zoo
• Visit the Science Center and watch an IMAX flick
• Visit the Science Fiction Museum (or the Museum of Flight)
• Go on a harbor cruise

We are closer to vacation! We are desperately needing this and I am super excited to spend some time with just my family in a city that we love to visit.
