Seattle!

The Bluest Skies are in Seattle

Seattle was a blast – and not only because we got a little break from the rain - but, as is the theme with almost every stop along the west coast, we got to connect with some dear old friends!

Jesica and Colin moved to Seattle a couple of years ago - and now she's pregnant and they're about to be married!!   Jesica is just glowing! We got to touch her belly a lot.

There's a baby in that belly!!

Our first full day in Seattle we were treated to more of the wet PNW weather we had been getting on our trip so we went to the Pike Place Market and then the Seattle Art Museum (SAM).  The SAM was having a really awesome Calder exhibit but we weren't allowed to photograph it.  [sad emoticon]. We could take pictures of some of the other cool things:

that's a coffin!

The next day the weather was a little better so we were able to do some outdoor city activities - like checking out the Olympic Sculpture Park.  

a gaint Calder "stabile" (stabile never caught on the way mobile did...)

giant typewriter eraser! I LOVE it.

Anyone remember when there were silver trees like this in Madison Sq Park?

While in Seattle, we stayed with my good friend Rich and his husband Charles in their amazing apartment in Capital Hill.  We were right across the street from Volunteer Park, a great place to walk nash – and we got to climb the old water tower there at sunset.

Rich and Charles were such amazing hosts – they made us dinner, we made them dinner – they took us out, and they spent a whole day driving us around sight seeing.  We had vegan donuts at Mighty O, went to gas works park, out to Snoqualmie Falls, lunch at Paseo, out to Golden Garden, then to ice cream.... a very full, A+ kinda day!  Jesica left work early and spent the day with us too!

We watched these adorable little ducklings for about 30 minutes.

Later that evening we hung out with Sean's friend Puja at her new apt (no furniture yet!).  We forgot our camera so all we have to show for it is a picture of us! ha.
