Seattle

This week I had the opportunity to go to Seattle Washington for work. I was excited for this work trip because I used to live near there when I was little and well all I could remember was lots of trees and rain! I arrived Monday the 8th and 'stayed until the 10th. The weather was absolutley beautiful! It was in the 70's the whole time with clear blue skies. Here are some pictures, believe it or not we did get some work done. Enjoy! Tuesday we went down to the Water Front and visited Pike's Market! It was amazing!!! I couldn't believe all the sail boats, and the amazing condo's right there off the water! I seriously need to travel more because I was in awe the whole time! Here are some pictures from Pike's Market:

Pike's Market was so cool! I was able to see them "throw the fish" which was awesome! There were so many sail boats also, I couldn't believe it, then when I heard the cost of a sail boat I about fell off my chair!!! There were tons of different stands at Pikes market with people selling all sorts of things; jewelry, art, produce that looked delicious and my favorite, gorgeous flowers!! And they were so cheap, I couldn't believe it, I wanted to buy some so bad but had no way of keeping them fresh. You could get the most beautiful boquet for only $5.00!

Our last day there we were able to go down to the Locks and were able to see a tug boat get lowered into the ocean. That was really neat!!!

Seattle is an amazing city and I am sure I didn't even see all that it has to offer, I highly recommend everyone visiting the city. When I was a little girl we lived in Stilacom, and I remember some things but not much and never really understood why my Mom, Dad and sister loved it so much but now I can see why. When we were walking the streets by Pike's Market, and area formally known as "skid Row" I could picture my Dad right there in the middle of it all. It really made me miss him and I wish I could have been able to be there with him. I am hoping to plan a family trip up there with all my family, I think my Mom would love to go back! Thanks Kyle for showing us around!!
