Seattle

We went up to Seattle this past weekend to visit my brother and sister-in-law. It was a really good time - they fed us lots of yummy food and we saw a lot of the city.

I don't have any pictures, but we did the Underground Tour on Saturday, and it was really cool - I would recommend it if you visit. It is a tour about the history of Seattle and how the city was built, and the guides are really entertaining. Brian didn't stop laughing for the entire 1 1/2 hours.

Here we are at the locks - where the boats come in and out of the Puget Sound and lakes of Seattle.

We went kayaking on Lake Union on Sunday. I know, I was as surprised as you are that the belly fit in the boat. Afterwards we went to Pike Place Market and got some salmon for dinner. The market was great - a lot better than the farmer's markets we have.

On Monday we went down to Mount Rainier National Park for some hiking. It was gorgeous, but we weren't quite expecting the snow. We asked the park ranger about the route we were planning on taking and he said he wasn't sure we were prepared because it didn't look like we brought our ice picks. Ha. So we took another one with just a little snow.


We're trying to navigate through the snow. Slippery! Too bad the ice picks were in the other car.

Definitely some amazing views - the mountain was beautiful.

It was such a fun trip - thanks Brian and Katie!
