Seattle, tourist edition
While Colin and I were in Seattle this Labor Day weekend, Jon and Julie planned lots of really fun things for us to do. We had a wonderful time and pretty much think that Seattle is amazing.
They took us to a Mariner's game at Safe Co Field. We arrived a little late and missed the traffic, as well as the only run scored the entire game. But it's more about the company, food, and atmosphere anyway, right?
We had amazing tickets right on the third baseline! I couldn't believe how close we were to the field.

We were there on a holiday, and made it down to Pike's Place on a Saturday so the place was really quite crowded.
They had everything for sale. Food, Flowers, and lots of souvenirs and other things to buy.
The flowers were wholesale so they were fresh, beautiful, and super cheap.

I'm not sure if it was the unfamiliar taste or the coldness, but Violet wasn't quite sure what to think.
On Sunday, while Colin and Jon were at PAX, Julie, Violet and I went to another market to do a little more shopping, walking, and getting to know each other. I've discovered that I love her. Julie was an amazing host and we had a great time talking about life, kids, religion, and even some stuff where we were both going, okay TMI but... ha ha!
The crowd wasn't nearly as bad and I think it was mostly locals there.

I was really quite shocked at what they had for sale. Most of it really seemed like junk but I'm sure people were just looking for that hidden gem. I saw a pair of Hello Kitty boots for $20. I'm sure they were only half that retail, 15 years ago! Whatever.
