Seattle Trip

Spent a quick weekend in Seattle in early December to visit the family. When I asked Jason what was on his "must do" list in Seattle, his only item was to go by the stadium. So here we are at Seahawk Stadium. As a side note, I successfully navigated from the airport, to the train, to the stadium, to the waterfront, to the train, and back to the airport without any problem. Which was a major victory for me. And Jason - and Biz - who were both justifiably worried about my ability to get around in a big city.

 

For months, I had been telling Jason about the waterfront and Ivar's and Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. I had really set this trip up as a visit to my childhood. So you can imagine my dismay (followed by my hysterical laughter) when we got to the waterfront and it was.... completely closed. Silly me. I didn't think to google "the Seattle waterfront" and see if it was closed for construction. Can you close the waterfront? Apparently you can. At least we got to walk over to Pike's Place and watch the guys throw the fish.

And it was still a beautiful night in Seattle. Even if we had to eat hamburgers in the one place that wasn't completely shut down.

Apparently I don't have any pictures from the family gathering on Saturday. We all look pretty much the same as the last few times we've been together.

Finally, we went to the airport plenty early so we could eat at Ivar's. It's not the same as being on the water surrounded by overfed seagulls. But it's still the best fish you'll ever eat.

Until next time, Seattle!!!
