Seattle Trip

Matt had a business trip schedule in Seattle WA. I was lucky enough to join him half way through. Neither on of us had ever been there, so of course I wanted to tag along. Our trip didn't go as planned...I was supposed to get a car rental the day I arrived and go sight-seeing while Matt finished up his training. Well, since I don't use credit cards...no car. So, I spent the first day in the hotel and walking around down town Bellevue. Once Matt was done working we picked up a car and were on our way. Things just seem to take so long in Seattle, getting around, finding a place to eat, knowing what to do and what to go see. We didn't get to do everything I wanted to do, but the best part of the trip was just spending quality time together. Something we've needed for months.



Matt got to go to a Mariners game...without me. Oh, for the love of the game!














The Seattle Washington Temple. We had every intention of doing a session, but our trip didn't go as planned...to say the least.













I came all the way to Seattle to get this picture. Well, maybe not just this picture, but pretty close.











Thee famous sign!









Why is Matt holding a fish, you ask...because I wanted to see the nice gentlemen throw some fish like I had seen on a video. So I asked one of them if they could throw the fish. Well, they told me, I had to catch it. And since I didn't want to smell like fish for the rest of the day, I volunteered Matt. He is always a good sport. We got most of it on tape...I just accidentally stopped recording right before he caught it. Oops. My bad!






This is one happening place!










Pike Place Flowers. They were beautiful.


















The Fremont Troll ~ Kinda weird. Why would someone sculpt this strange looking creature? I guess they had a lot of time on their hands.



































Snoqualmie Falls. Breath taking. I love water falls. They're so Majestic.






























































Quaint little train station.























Washington is full of beautiful scenery. We drove up to Anacortes, hoping to take a Ferry out to the San Juan Islands. But we had just missed it and the next one wasn't going out for another 3 hours. So we just drove around enjoying the view and the company of each other.
















The Seattle Space Needle

Looks pretty high from way down here.

















We got our ticket for the Space Needle. Have to admit, I was a little nervous about the height.













Looking westward from on top of the Space Needle. Such a pretty view.













The only regret I have is that I didn't see any Vampires! Now, I'm ready for the next adventure. Some place warm!

This so makes me want to go to Seattle! I think the troll is cool. However, my husband would never be game enough to catch a fish for my amusement...
