Seattle

We decided that after all the working we've done this summer to take a little trip up to Washington for a week. We left early Sunday morning on August 1st and drove ALL day until we reached Seattle that evening. We stopped to snap a photo of the water as the sun was setting. All day in the car. .. we were glad to finally be at our destination!! We only had two days to enjoy Seattle, so we tried to make the most of it! We met up with David and Tiffany and their little one, Sean, (David is my nephew) at the zoo Monday afternoon. We saw the entire Zoo and we were all tired and hungry by the time we were done. So we hit Dick's for some food.. . . and I have to admit it wasn't as good as I remembered! I know some of you will think me terrible for saying so. . . . but we were dissapointed! I will admit that the fries were pretty good, though! Day two we hit downtown. First we made a stop at the Ballard Locks to see the salmon run, and the boats go through the locks. It was quite neat when we spotted a little leopard seal swimming around! We ate on the pier at Ivars. . . expensive, but very good! And of course hit Pike Place Market.

That night we met David and Tiffany for the Mariners game downtown!

Elizabeth and Mia wouldn't stop pestering David. . .he handled it very well, though. We actually lucked out and the Mariners pulled out a win that night!
