Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night.

Visit Seattle: Gas Works Park

Gas Works Park was a lovely park to visit while in Seattle.


The old plant was a sight to see, and the colorful "children's play barn" (which didn't really seem safe to play in) was also very interesting.

There were beautiful views of Downtown Seattle, and my kids were excited to see so many sea planes fly by.

Be forewarned, however, that there are A LOT of geese, which means there will be a A LOT of geese poop.  I was astounded at how much poop there was - everywhere we stepped there were big pieces of poop and it was extremely difficult to avoid stepping in any.

The grassy areas were covered in poop the most - so try and stay on the paths to avoid stepping in it (although you'll still find some poop there too, just not nearly as much).

Thankfully the poop didn't smell!
