Tricia and I were able to make a quick trip to Seattle last weekend. We had our traditional banana splits with Patsy, Hal, Jilene and Mike (aunts and uncles) at Shari's on Friday night. Saturday morning we went to Pike Place Market with Jilene. You can tell by the picture below that the market was crowded with tourists. (Said snobbishly. Technically Tricia and I are not tourists, since we have family in Seattle and
We Belong.) But I never pass up an opportunity to watch hot guys throw fish at each other.
We had lunch at Ivar's on the waterfront. There is nothing better than eating fish and chips from Ivar's in downtown Seattle, sitting on the water and throwing fries at the ever-present seagulls.
Well, ok, there is ONE thing better than lunch at Ivar's. And that is a family picnic later that night! Saturday night we were joined at a park in Redmond with a wide assortment of our aunts, uncles, cousins and related kiddos. We lucked out because our Uncle Barry from Texas happened to be visiting Seattle that weekend as well. It was great to see everyone - and laugh hysterically at cousin Kimmy's stories, as I always do. Thanks to everyone who made time to spend with us last weekend!
