Pacific Science Center Camp In

Both the Junior and Cadette troops had a chance to go to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle.

I was lucky enough to go two weekends in a row! Yep..slept on the floor twice. Crazy? sure :)
It's a special night set aside for the Girl Scouts to go and spend the night and explore the science center. They get to sleep right in the science center. Karina's troop got to sleep on the floor by the solar system area and Ana's troop got to sleep in Puget Sound (not the acutal one but the floor area where it explores the sound)

They get to see a laser light show and view an Imax show (both watched Volcanoes under the deep sea). All the girls said they had a blast and said they'd love to go back next year!! :)

After being at the Science Center, both troops ventured off to explore downtown Seattle.

Mary (my co leader) and I took the juniors to Pike's Place Market to explore for a bit. We wanted to be home by 6 or 7 ish since it was Sunday so we didn't explore too much! :)

This weekend, the Cadette troop Camp in was Friday night, so we had all day Saturday to explore! The girls rode the monorail to downtown Seattle where we shopped for clothes (teenage girls and shopping always go hand in hand). Rode the monorail back and then headed downtown Seattle to Pike's Place market again.

Spent about 2 hours here playing around and looking at stuff. From there the girls went to House of Hong and had quite the experience of dining on dim sum and many other things they hadn't even tried before (me either LOL).


From there the trip took us to Uwajimaja which is an Asian market with almost every imaginable thing you can imagine to shop from! We had fun looking at all the "odd" to us stuff that was there :)

It was an action packed two weekends in a row but so well worth it! Not only for my only personal kiddos but for all the girls in my troop and Laurie's troop to be able to see what is outside of our little valley! :)

What a great experience!

Ana's troop never did a group shot..but here is one at XXX burgers in Issaquah.


All in all everyone had a blast! :) Not sure I'll be signing up to sleep on any floors again anytime soon as my massage therapist had her baby early and my appt. last week was put on the back burner. I'm sure I'll be a mess when I do get in again :)
