CEE ATTLE

Last week the wifester I took a long overdue mini vacation together. We chose to go to Seattle for some random reason, but it turned out to be one of the best trips I have ever been on. Going into the trip the only thing we truly had to do was get from the Airport to the hotel. Turns out in Seattle this is the easiest thing ever. Landed in Seatac, walked for a few minutes, hopped on a train for $2.50 a ticket destined for downtown. Off the train and a short two block walk, we were in our hotel, and ready for the three days of adventure.

I think one of the main reasons we chose Seattle was because my wife is a dirty little trollup and wanted to meet McSteamy off of Greys Anatomy, yeah I was laughing inside when she became dissapointed that the show isn't shot on location. Haha, you're stuck with me woman.

We found some cool places online that we wanted to check out, and had a ton of suggestions of places to see/things to do.

The short list of some places:
Seattle Underground tour
Pikes Place Market
Original Starbucks
Space Needle
Gum Wall
Ferry to Bremerton
Shopping district

We walked everywhere we went and enjoyed being together every minute. Missed the gromlins something fierce. Its funny everytime a couple would walk by with their kid, we would let a few minutes pass and then both remark about how we missed the lil one. luf her. Anyway here are some pics
The wife fitting in Seattle at the Starbucks, Ipad, Starbucks cup, she just needed a north face jacket.


Rad old school elevator. Our hotel was right downtown, older and completely re done. It was perfect. Had a Seattles Best coffee shop in the lobby, but Im an elitist. Yeah their both owned by Starbucks.

Thought this was a cool shot.

Im everywhere

This was taken from a little eatery that we found while walking in one of the many hallways at Pikes place. Seriously, you could spend all day here and not see the same thing twice. This place had the most legit Clam chowder ever!

Tourists

Having fun around the space needle with some artsy shit. They charge 20 bucks a head to ride an elevator to the top of the space needle. Nah.

A few pics of the old lady and I

On the ferry to Bremerton. Crazy big houses lined the shores.

At fifteen I was obsessed with a band called MXPX. they sing a song about bremerton and I needed to be there ever since. Finally made the destination. pretty cool, and this places food was really good. It was right across the street from the Naval museum. Bremerton has a lot of history for the American navy and the return of the Pacific fleet in World War II. I like learning about stuff like that.

Next up, SD at the end of March. Even though its for a race, the wife and kid are coming along and I am excited.
