Seattle

So I was (finally) uploading pictures from my camera to the computer and ran across this little trip Tyler and I took back in September. For Ty's birthday he got tickets to see a Texas Rangers game (his favorite MLB team) and since the closest MLB stadium in the NW is up in Seattle, we went to one of the Mariners-Rangers game from last season. It was a really fun trip! I loved just going up there for the weekend and spending time with my brother and sis-in-law. Photographic evidence that we have indeed toured Seattle:

Our first stop was a tour on this ship in Bremerton. I don't remember the name. I just remember some old guy kept going on and on giving just Tyler and me a personal tour. It was long and a bit boring for my taste, but Ty enjoyed it. The next morning, we headed into Seattle via ferry and our first stop was Pike's!

Where we saw this little beauty.

Next we took a tram to the Space Needle where we waited forever in line. Side note: the next time you decide to have a family reunion in Seattle, don't entertain the tired children by singing annoying childish songs while you wait in line. It is highly irritating to hear "B-I-N-G-O! B-I-N-G-O! B-I-N-G-O! And BINGO was his name-o!" over and over and over and over again.

This was taken inside the Space Needle where we had to get away from the family reunion people.(But can we just pause a minute and adore how dang good my husband looks? Just look at those blue eyes!)

Then I had my first ever experience with gelato. And lets just say that I am a goner. Ice cream is nothing compared to gelato!

Then we finally went to the game at Safeco Field.
These were our seats. Awesome. Thanks Mom and Dad!
But lets face it, I'm no baseball fan. I was really excited to go just so I could see this guy play. He was pretty cool to watch. And the Rangers won, so my husband was happy. It was a great trip we took and I'm sure it will be the first of many Seattle trips we'll take as long as we're here in Oregon.
