Seattle Trip

We seem to have been slacking on our posts, mostly because we don't do anything interesting, but still...

A few weeks ago Eric and I went up to Seattle to visit our friends the Smith's.  They recently had a baby and we hadn't seen them in quite some time.  We decided to bring the doggies along for a quick weekend trip.

Pickles was pretty excited.  She gets pretty excited doing anything, but I'm attempting 'glass half full'.  We got ok weather on the way up, a little rain but nothing too bad.  Oddly enough there was better weather in Seattle than Portland.  Saturday at least...

Before we left, we stopped and picked up a few treats to bring with us.  Yum!

We decided to head out and see Pike's Place Market.

It was really freakin' cold in there.  Eric and Michael went and got coffee.  Eric brought back a ginger apple cider for me - it was disgusting.  It kept my hands warm for a few minutes though.

Up next, we went to the troll under the bridge.  I got a picture of Eric with a little kid in the background.  He saw me taking a picture and apparently didn't feel like he had to move.

We were very cold and the baby was hungry so we went back to the Smith's apartment and relaxed for a bit. 

Eric holds Pickles the way Michael holds Landon.  Ahhh fatherly love.

Michael with his pride and joy.  He is a very doting father.
We went to dinner at a pizza place.  It was tasty and we all had a lovely time.  Everyone that walked by our tabled stopped to say hello to Landon.  We also got 1 picture together... a rare occurrence.

We went home and everyone went to sleep, the next morning we awoke, hung out at the house for a bit and Eric held a baby for the first time.

The Smith's were nice enough to pose for a family photo...

We all went to breakfast.  Eric and I hung out for a bit and then headed out.  We wanted to try and get home before it got dark, which is at 4:30pm.  During the drive it started to snow.  Even Eric's phone started to snow...

As we drove we saw lots of trees covered in snow.

We were almost home.  Ta'ami said he was tired and ready to be back in his bed.

Overall it was a very good trip.  We look forward to visiting again!
