Our annual trip downtown for Christmas




Every year we go downtown to take in the Christmas lights and festivities. We took the bus into the city and started with the Olympic Hotel's Teddy Bear suite. We've heard about this for years and finally decided to take a look. It's a suite all decorated for Christmas and just full of Teddy Bears, all shapes and sizes. There are couchs, beds, chairs and the floor where you can sit with your child and read stories about bears. The books are put there by the Seattle public library, admission is free, but they ask for a donation. I believe the money goes to Children's Hospital. You even get a candy cane when you leave. The lobby at the Olympic is always very lovely. Many trees, all for sale and the proceeds go to a variety of different causes.
