SEATTLE Vacation!

Kelsey's Perfect Vacation: her husband plans everything with his coworker of where they're going and what to do when they're there for a fun, cool-weather vacation...it happened! I didn't have to do anything but pack and show up! ;)

And we had PERFECT weather! No rain and around 80 degrees all week.

We got to enjoy this neat city with our friends Jesse and Amber.

The Aquarium
 

   

Celebrating Scott's Birthday by watching the Mariners! What more could he ask for?!
 




Space Needle! We got to go during the day and at night.




  




This was by the Space Needle...I was backing up trying to get a pic and almost stepped on a homeless man passed out on the grass. There were quite a few homeless people around Seattle and we decided maybe the free city bus and things like that have something to do with it...

Rock 'n Roll Museum

Scott wasn't a huge fan of this. I don't blame him too much though...it was a lot of reading how the musicians that started out in the Seattle area (Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, etc.) got started and then how they overdosed on drugs and died or how they killed themselves...

We took a ferry ride to see the Seattle skyline.


Scott really enjoyed his new app that let's him take multiple pictures and make one out of it.



Pike's Place Market


 


We did a session in the be-a-u-tiful Seattle temple.



Boeing Tour



 



We rode a ferry! It was pretty crazy for me, but an everyday thing here with cars going over every half hour.




We got to the other side and picked up some seashells.

 

Flight Museum
 

And then....ANOTHER Mariners Game!!!

Our friends left Friday afternoon, so Scott wanted to go to a game where his hero, Felix Hernandez, was pitching. We got the seats that came with shirts and had a really enjoyable time cheering.



Snoqualmie Falls
 
 Hiking! It was really different looking around and only seeing trees and forest instead of pretty views. But the view was beautiful when we go to the top.


 

And we got to pick blackberries!
 


The Beach

 

We visited Scott's Grandmother's grave. What a great woman! I'm glad I got to meet her.


Very nice trip. Well done Scott!

Scott's Birthday: #27

September 4th was the birthday, but September 3rd was the present-opening day because we were leaving for Seattle on the 4th! Scott's best present was watching the Mariners play some baseball!
  

He got to buy Mariners gear and I also got him Jerry Seinfeld tickets (we're going tonight!).
