Day 15 & 16 – Sleepless in Seattle

We FINALLY made it to Seattle and to the original Starbucks. Our first stop in the city was to find that coffee, soo good. Three venti’s yay! So, super hopped up on caffeine we wandered around the famous Pike’s Place fish market and made horrible fools of ourselves when they threw a fake fish at us. This one guy mocked Elizabeth like no other as she was amazed at the size of the king crab legs. There are some very interesting people in Seattle, ya, very interesting to say the least. We loaded up on free samples of fruits and nuts and even chocolate spaghetti! while peering in all the windows of the cool little shops along the street, and then headed back to Lo’s grandpa’s house for the night. We even crossed floating bridges and lots of tunnels on the way, after Lo totally squealed her tires when trying to drive up the hills in the city. San Francisco will be fun for sure.

Today we ventured back into the city and saw the infamous space needle, took the monorail back down to Pike’s Place, and had cookies and coffee for breakfast. We checked out a ton more shops and didn’t even get close to seeing them all. There really is a coffee shop on every corner of the city, by the way, in case you were wondering. And this afternoon we took a ferry across the sound just because we wanted to and it was so much fun! The water was really still so it was a great ride across the water and we braved the cold, standing on the front of the deck the whole way. Denise gave an impromptu show when the wind blew her skirt up, thank heavens for leggings haha.

The weather in Seattle was amazing these last two days, in the 60s and sunny! We feel like that isn’t normal for the city but we are not complaining. Tomorrow we start our trek south along the coast and will really see the Pacific ocean for real! Bonus: we are picking up Lo’s sister along the way as well wooo!
