I must say, the city rewarded us handsomely. The weather was an unusual (I'm not convinced it really rains as much as they say) 70 and sunny. Hardly a cloud in the sky. The variety of shit to do and places to go was in full abundance. The people watching was superb... hula hoopers, practicing yogis and street wanders everywhere. And the grub at pike place market pretty damn tasty, according to both tasty & I.
We parked it, we marketed it, we cooked, we wore ourselves out past the point of exhaustion, we hiked, we ate, we laughed, we dreamed, we found snow and sun and rain, we hugged GIANT trees and smelled pretty tulips, we collected dinner, we searched for pubs and rode car ferries, we saw the grossest alley ever, we climbed aboard AirForce One, we stalked houseboats and their untrusting residents, we got lost and amazed amongst the 20' snow cliffs, we fell for the worst tourist trap ever, and we loved it. All of it. Don't worry Mr. Space Needle ticket guy, we will keep your secret. Seattle is definitely not the next California. And now for the photo onslaught.....
By far, Matt's favorite adventure was tide pooling, aka ocean foraging. He was like a kid on a treasure hunt and COULD NOT get over the fact that it was free food, and free seafood for that matter. My favorite, definitely watching that crazy caveman and his goofy grin as he collected mussel after mussel and later as he cooked them up. Oh and one cannot forget the mushroom book and possibility of the great Western Morel.
And who could miss the fantastic iPhone pics....
