Mini Vacation!

I have been excited about this weekend for a long time! A long while back we found out a friend of ours was getting married in Seattle and we knew that we would be living in Spokane by then. Of course we had to plan a trip to Seattle :)

So, we were off early Saturday morning with our Bacon-Egg Mcgriddles in hand and our trip song a blaring. I always try to find a trip song  or an album for each little adventure I go on. Then whenever that song/album plays I can be transported back and reminiscence on all of the memories. This trips song was Royals by Lorde.

Our first stop was a classic: Pikes Market. Calebs first time to Seattle (and only my second) had to include all of the touristy spots. We didn't' get to see the people throwing the fish sadly but we saw lots of delicious berries, beautiful flower arrangements, and pretty pictures. We heard an amazing guitar player, bought raspberry honey, braved the smelly bathrooms, and saw the gum wall!

 We walked to the pier and saw the little shops and I ate some fish and chips. I don't really eat seafood; i make exceptions for fish and chips and tuna fish.

 While walking to the Space Needle some nice young man asked us if we would like to participate for free in an attempt to have the worlds largest water balloon fight. We were down so we went to a park with four thousand other people and threw a bunch of balloons at each other!

Here are before pics:

Due to the water balloon fight we ended up getting to the wedding a little late but we cleaned up, got lost a lot, and finally made it to the wedding where Caleb ended up taking a fantastic picture that won us an exclusive piece of wedding cake. 

This is us at the wedding. Do we look like we just participated in a water balloon fight??? 

Coulda' fooled you huh? 

At the wedding a sweet local girl told us about a beach we should go see so on Sunday morning we drove to Alki Beach. We explored and found a bunch of dead crabs and jellyfish, a BUNCH of starfish and anemones, and an awesome view of Seattle. I loved this place!

Isn't this guy beautiful? 

I'm not sure if we were supposed to do this... he was just floating around so we picked it up... 

And then we came home to Spokane. I love Seattle. I understand that the driving and parking it sucky but it is such a fun city. I hope I get a job soon so I can start saving money for more trips. We need to come back and go up the Space Needle. We need more time here too! A day and a half was not enough at all but I think that we did quiet a few fun things with the time we had. 

Time for Rose Bud Thorn. 

Rose: Our apartment is starting to feel more like home. Most of my decorations are up and I think I know where most of my stuff is. Maybe I will post pics someday. 

Bud: Tomorrow is Monday. I applied for a few jobs at the end of last week so I am hoping that I get at least one call this week. 

Thorn: Caleb starts orientation this week which means I will be on my own for the first time in Spokane for three days straight. I am sad that real life has to start again. 

Good Night Neverland!
