A few weeks ago, I realized that summer is almost over and we still hadn t taken a family vacation. We usually try to do something each year, but since we ve been tightening our belts and actually living within our means, our options have been pretty limited.  So, I started thinking pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state about some things we could do nearby where both the adults and the kids could have a good time.
After we made our choice, pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state I went to Travelzoo pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state to find a hotel room.  I found a special rate ($149) at the Hotel Valencia on the Riverwalk. It was actually the best rate for hotels on the Riverwalk AND it included breakfast.
Shamu: It s amazing what these trainers are able to get these giant whales to do. My daughter entered SeaWorld wanting to be a mermaid, pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state but after seeing the Believe show, she now wants to be a trainer.  And of course the gift shop sold a trainer Barbie which we bought.
The lines: So, I get that it s the summer and a Friday, but the lines were, in my opinion, unnecessarily long.  We waited in a line 25-30 people pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state deep to buy dolphin food, but got out of line after we realized only one person was manning the booth where you bought it.  At one of the kiddie ferris wheel rides, one person pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state loaded, unloaded and operated the ride.  We thought waiting until 1pm would allow us to skip the lunch rush, but the lines were almost out the door at one restaurant.
After SeaWorld, pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state we checked in at the Hotel Valencia.  Although our room was a no view room, we actually could see a sliver of the Riverwalk from our window.  And even though our room was a standard, it still was a nice size. I also liked the modern decor and dark colors.  Plus, the hotel staff members pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state were very friendly and attentive.
We ate dinner at Acenar , the restaurant next door. Unlike every other Mexican food place on the Riverwalk, it didn t have a wait.  The menu also had some intriguing dishes that included stuff that wasn t typically TexMex, like my duck crepes delicious!  The duck had the texture of pulled pork and was covered with a sweet and spicy sauce. I d definitely eat there again.
The next morning we enjoyed the free breakfast that came with our special Travelzoo rate.  It was a credit, so we got to choose whatever we wanted. pet friendly vacation rentals in washington state After breakfast, we walked along the Riverwalk a little bit more before we headed home.
