Tell me about Seattle and/or Albuquerque
DH and I will be taking two trips 3-4 days each - One to Seattle and the other to Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant so our first trip will likely be in February and our second trip will be in June/July with a 2-3 month old. Any ideas which might be easier with a baby? I'm guessing Seattle would be better weather in the summer although it doesn't look bad now either (we are coming from Chicago and it appears to be considerably warmer there). If you have been to either area what are the must sees?
Re: Tell me about Seattle and/or Albuquerque
Well considering it's snowing here in Seattle right now, while it's warmer than Chicago it's not necessarily "good" weather and June/July will probably be much more pleasant. One thing I'd keep in mind with your requirements is that Seattle is very hilly. I don't have kids so I'm not sure whether the hills would be easier pregnant or with a newborn.
My must sees in Seattle are Kerry Park (better views than the Space Needle), the Aquarium, Bainbridge Island just for the views from the ferry, at least one of the funky neighborhoods (I like Fremont), and Snowqualmie Falls. There are some gorgeous rhododendron gardens around if you come in June.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

I live in Albuquerque and next month it still could pretty cold here. Not as cold as Chicago, but it's still chilly.
Here's a post from a week or two ago about things to do and places to say in Abq.

Although I don't know if I'd do the tram I suggest in Feb because it'd be super cold at the top of the mountain - especially with a little one.
