Car Bombs!

What else can I say?

Seattle Trip

On Friday, April 17th, we headed out on a plane to Seattle,

Washington to see Greg and Sherida.

The first place Greg took was the sculpture museum.

We parked and then walked around and looked at the "sculptures"

and the scenery. We then started walking towards the Space Needle.

Greg needed to stop by the bank. Across the street I noticed the

 gas prices were pretty high! In AZ it is about $1.79.

Jeff waiting for Greg outside the bank.

 Here at the top of the Space Needle it is quite frightening,

especially if you are afraid of heights.

 This is a view from the inside.

 View of the city.

 Greg and Jeff

Me and Jeff

 View of not the city, ha!

 Damn it's windy!!!

 I thought this was hysterical.

He was posing for a picture and I took one!

Getting a tour.

 Back on the ground again.  Look at them bolts!

 There were beautiful Tulips EVERYWHERE!

 Scenic lookout on the way to the house.

The 1st day, we went to the "WAC" and had some appetizers

and drinks and then went to a baseball game at Safeco field.

Greg gave us a tour of the city.

 Crossing the water.

See Mount Raineer?

 On our way to Leavenworth.

 A high school

 Gas weas expensive in the boonies too!

 Here comes the snow.

 Snow covered mountains in the back. 

 Beautiful trees and snow.

 Tons of snow on the side.

 Skiing.

 Leaving the snow.

 In Leavenworth!

 Cute little town.

 Funny street name - Chumstick

 Although there are snow covered moutains in the background, we
 didn't even need our jackets. The weather was nice!

 Candy Apples

 Beef jerky

 and something to wash it all down with

 Throwing taffy

 Chocolate fountain

 Walking through town

Leaving town, there were these white trees (?)everywhere.

 So cute

A frozen lake.

Taking the ferry to Bainbridge Island to have some amazing Mexican food.

 Greg and Sherida

Arriving at the Island

 Bainbridge High School

 It got dark so I couldn't take any more pictures :(

 Sunday morning Greg drove us around his neighborhood

This is the park by their house.

Then they took us to the most AMAZING lunch buffet!

Salty's!  We are so going there again!

 After over-eating, we drove down by the beach.

The streets were quite narrow!  :/



 Mount Raineer again

 Then we drove thru the city.

 Doesn't seem real!

 Like legos or somethin.

 

 Driving up to the Queen Ann neighborhood.

 Wow that was some hill!

 We saw the most beautiful trees and their petals were all over the
sidewalk. It was like a fairy tale.

 The houses were so beautiful (and expensive!).

Everyone of them was different and so full of charm

 We went to Pikes Place Market. It was amazing..all the shops.

There was a lady here selling knitted hats and scarves for
$50 each!  I gotta get home and start making some of those!

On our plane ride home, Jeff took pictures of Mount Rainer.

Horrible seats - ugh :)
