Seattle (Virginia Mason & Pikes Place)

Yesterday (Friday) Marco, Maria, and I joined my parents on a little excursion to Seattle. We started the day off way to early and were on the road at 5:07 am. My Dad had an appointment at Virginia Mason, so we stopped there first, and then afterward headed over to Pikes Place Market.

Marco, Maria & Mom getting ready to cross the street:

Some of the beautiful produce they've got there:


My dad and his nummy eclair:


Check out those lobster tails and shrimp!! They're HUGE!!

My mom carried Maria in the Moby so I could take pictures:



And when she and Maria both wanted to have a treat my dad helped... there's nothing like teamwork:

It was an absolutely beautiful day. It was a tad bit on the cold side (notice we're all wearing jackets), but the sun was out and shining, and we could see all the way over to the Olympic Peninsula. Here's a pic of Marco with Safeco field in the background:

On this little lookout thing there were a couple of totem poles. I am NO expert on Native American totem poles so I have no idea what they mean, but it lookes like one of the pole carvers was lazy and didn't finish the job... we laughed a little at that (knowing that it's not true):


We stopped in a little market and saw these colorful pasta.... I wonder what kind of a sauce you'd serve these with:

I saw these chairs and just had to take a picture. No real reason, I just thought they were pretty:


Another post with no pictures of me... I can't say that I'm too incredibly sorry about that.... I prefer to be on the picture taking end of things. I'll see about trying to get in at least one of the pictures next time though.
