Seattle Washington

I love Seattle!! We couldn't have picked a better weekend to go, the weather was great! Clayton was going to Vancouver for work and we had a free round trip airlines ticket that needed to be used so I decided to meet him in Seattle at the end of his business trip. Neither of us have been there and so we were so excited to go explore, just the two of us! Before we left we asked around for ideas for "must do and see" from people that have been there before so we had a pretty good list of things we wanted to do. Thursday was a day of traveling just to get to my hubby, waiting for me in the Seattle airport. We got a rental car and headed to the hotel. (I LOVE Priceline) We got a $150 hotel for $55...and it was a NICE Hilton hotel!! Clayton spend a couple of his business trip days in Seattle so he wanted to show me a couple "neat" things, first he wanted to show me the floating bridges.

This City doesn't waste any space..they build things anywhere.

We then went to the Space Needle put our name in for lunch and had an hour to waste so we walked around the grounds of the space needle...

Lunch at the top of the Space Needle is a must...it's AMAZING!! (the view and food)

Next we took the monorail and went downtown. First we hit the famous Pike's Market Place.

The famous fish throwers...look close and you can see the blurry fish flying in the air.


While walking around the Market Place we stumbled upon a crepe shop. O MY GOSH!! SO good! Worth every cent of the $12 dollars we spent on one crepe!!

Next stop was the Seattle Aquarium. I wasn't to thrilled about going, but Clayton was persistent. I am so glad we went...lots of neat fish and we even got to see an octopus up close. The pictures we took there was the kids favorites to look at. They kept saying "no fair, you guys got to do fun things" while we were showing them. We will definitely have to go back as a whole family someday.

The rest of the day we walked around the piers, shopped and ate... The shopping was my favorite part, they have the best stores and Clayton was being sweet and never told me no when I wanted something!!

I ate the corn and potatoes and Clayton ate the rest of the pile.... :)

LOVE this store!!

Saturday we decided would be an explore day. We put our car on a ferry and went across to Bainbridge Island, what a fun little town!! We had fun going to all the little downtown shops and driving around dreaming of owning a home there! And can't forget to mention the best restaurant there...we asked a few locals what they would recommend for lunch and they all said a place called The Pub...go good!! The view from the restaurant was AWESOME!!

Driving onto the ferry.

On the ferry leaving Seattle.

We then drove to another town on the Island and again stumbled upon another crepe shop...Clayton couldn't resist.

We got back on the ferry and went back to Seattle and then drove to an outlet mall in Marysville and shopped until the stores closed!

I was so nice to have my husband to myself and enjoy each other all weekend...I was sad it was coming to an end, but I was ready to see my kids.

Moulding and Millwork has an office in Alaska..I told Clayton to work on doing a business trip there, so hopefully next stop, ALASKA!!
