I gave Ava a feather duster to play with.
Here she is dusting and recycling. Next up? A little game called "Put all these bowls in the lower rack of the dishwasher."The periodic postings of a tech lovin', former communications maven - now customer service maven - wife, mom and writer.

Social Media Seattle event
Nice bunch, good food, chatted with several folks about what they do and how social media fits in. Some are just getting their feet wet after hearing the buzz. Others were clearly early adopters.
It also gave me an opportunity to spread the word about the work my boss is doing with social media to engage more residents in government. Well worth the time and money spent.

Aquarium visit
The Seattle Aquarium has undergone a major overhaul in recent years and the changes are great. I overhead another visitor saying she's been to aquariums all over (Hawaii, Vancouver, California) and she thinks Seattle's is the best because it has displays that are good for both kids and adults, which is why she comes regularly even though she doesn't have kids. I would agree with her assessment.
It had been years since I'd been to the Seattle Aquarium but the new, inviting displays, clear signage, neat factoids posted about the various species on display, and even the circuitous path through the facility that makes it seem like a journey all combined to make it well worth the $16 fee (free for kids). Next time I'll bring snacks, as I saw other families doing, so we can pause for a mini-picnic and spend more time in the facility without fear of snack attack. I'm adding it to future my family outings list and expect to go back more often. All in all, a good mom and daughter day out. Next time, we're bringing J.
