Seattle 10/10

This was my 4th trip to Seattle in one and a half years. We talked my parents into joining us on this trip since they had never been before. As soon as we got there Thursday, we drove straight down to Pike's Place Market and ate lunch at Cutters. Fish and Chips and Clam Chowder was on every one's minds. Then we went by the Tasting Room, sampled some wines and purchased a couple of bottles for dinner that evening. We stopped in Fran's to purchase some dark chocolate covered Carmel's for dessert and then we were off to the market. We decided to purchase huge shrimp, scallops, crab legs and halibut cheeks to accompany our pasta with asparagus for dinner that evening. We made our way to Claudia and Pat's and had a feast. It might have been the best meal on the entire trip. Thanks to the Wille's for letting us make such a huge mess in their kitchen.

The next day we were off to the Aquarium, Flight Museum and Pioneer Square and after having fish and chips again that day for lunch we decided pizza sounded good for dinner. Then back to the hotel for some swimming in the hotel spa while the boys watched the Rangers win that nights game in the world series.

Saturday morning we decided to try this Russian pastry place across from Pike's Place Market. It was wonderful, at least until Luke threw up all over the place. Poor thing said his stomach hurt, but we didn't realize it was going to turn into vomiting. We got in the car and started driving to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, then to Snoqualmie Falls and then to Rattlesnake Lake. Such a beautiful area and the trees were all changing colors...so beautiful. Luke did fine for 5 hours until we got back in the car to head back to the hotel. Then the throwing up continued...poor thing. Daddy took care of him at the hotel and he slept great that night and was ready to rock the next morning.

On our last morning in Seattle we decided to take Luke to the Children's Museum. He loved it and did not want to leave. We had enough time to grab lunch and head to the airport. Another great trip!
