Sweet Seattle. . .

So it's October. . . and it's a large testament to how fast the year went. What happened?? Good grief. I was thinking about how fast the year went and realized that I never blogged about my trip to Seattle in July. Although I did write a little poem for my girls a couple of blogs ago, I never documented the trip. I got some STELLAR pics and some good videos that must be shown so rather than talk my way through it, I'll show you! Ladies and gentlemen. . . welcome to Seattle!

Steph and I walked around the Space Needle while Linds had some errands to run. I made my best attempt at taking a "postcard shot" of the towering needle. How'd I do??

This is me in front of the Ducks building. That's right, the Ducks. What's a Seattle Duck you may be asking? Well let me just show you!


The ducks are a car/boat/booze cruise that takes you all around Seattle and eventually into the bay. The captain is weird but a decent tour guide, all things considered. The concept is a bit off-center but the view from the lake. . .

Pretty spectacular, eh? Man, the city is absolutely amazing!

Um, Grey's Anatomy anyone? We also saw the place where Derek is going to build his house with Meredith is Isaquah. (Is that right, Linds or Steph?)

Steph and Linds humored me and took me to the Farmer's Market. . . you know, where they throw fish? I didn't put the fish throwers on here but I did add a picture of a donut tosser below.

Looks a little crazy but he was a great donut tosser. . . and the donuts were pretty delish.


Fresh flowers like a girl couldn't even imagine!!! Lilies that just made my entire day!

My girls at the Farmers Market. That was by far one of my favorite things!


Both major league fields in Seattle are RIGHT next to each other.


Look familiar? Name that movie. . . the toll under the bridge!


Now we're talking!! Steph is learning to play the guitar and this was her rocker pose! I discovered some new musical favs after Seattle, one of which was the highlight of this livingroom concert - Jason Mraz.


And Linds' rocker pose! Don't hold back ladies, show me what you're workin' with!

I didn't have a guitar but I did try to go grunge. Hat from a the trendy outdoor grunge store, check. Aviator glasses, check. Seattle attitude, double check!

OK, to finish off this picture party, I thought about showing you the video of the crazy old lady dancing in the park (it's a goodie) but no, no, I needed a more appropriate tribute. So, in hopes of spring-boarding their Internet music career, I give you Steph and Linds singing one of my now favorite songs. Thanks again for a great trip ladies!

You are correct about the Grays bit and I love the re-cap. Even if it is a few months later. It was so fun to have you hear and now that Steph and I know more fun local spots, I think you need to come back!

Miss your guts!

I haven't blogged about it yet either! Still on my to do list. It was so fun to have you here and wish we were seeing you again in October!
