Seattle

We were able to go to our favorite place in the world, Seattle, with some of our favorite people in the world, the Sato's. I can't say more about this amazing city. The first night we got there it was like Christmas morning for me walking around that city. Hopefully someday we will have an excuse to live there for awhile.
We got to stay in the cutest little beach house in the tiny little town of Westport. Besides the fact that they only had Pepsi products and no Coke it was a great place.

Brandon and Sato rented some equipment to go crabbing. This picture is a perfect portrayal of the experience; Sato diligently trying to get the bait in the crab net while Brandon sits back and enjoys a juicy nectarine. Just kidding Bran, you worked very hard too.
So, you put the nasty fish head in this crab net and throw it off the dock and let it sit for awhile before you pull it up. That is unless a seal comes and tries to eat it! There was this gigantic seal that jumped up right next to us to try to get the fish! It scared us all so much, I'm surprised no one fell in the water.

They ended up actually catching something! This is the poor guy that got eaten that night at dinner....


I guess our measly crabs weren't enough because we ended up getting this huge feast the next day.



This was our sweet ride
The beaches there are so beautiful
Brandon and I had a day to ourselves in the city. This is the outside of the SAM (Seattle Museum of Art). We have been meaning to go there the last few times we've been, but finally just got the chance. It was the coolest museum!
Seattle is all about music and there was this awesome exhibit of Kurt Cobain.

This is an Andy Warhol original! I love his pop art.
This Elvis piece is also an Andy Warhol
I loved this old freight elevator door.

Look how pretty their caramel apples are!


Brandon took me to the sweetest little restaurant for my birthday.

How fun! I've always wanted to go to Seattle, it looks beautiful.
It was great to see you guys for a little bit when the kids were it town, feel bad it is always so little and far between. Glad you guys are doing well!
