Seattle

About a month ago I was basking in the thought that we didn't have any summer plans for May or June... we could just hang out, get things done around the house, and catch up on some yard projects.  As of 2 weeks ago, we had 6 weekends in a row of things planned.  Now we're just trying to stay sane amongst all the weekend plans and work traveling during the weekdays.

Weekend one was a trip to Seattle.  Brian had a week long training class for work so I flew up the last weekend he was there to hang out.  We loved Seattle!!  Such a cool city.  We did the normal things like the Space Needle (which was a rip-off...), wandered around the waterfront and market and ate some awesome seafood with friends.  We also went and toured the Boeing facility/assembly line and got to see them making the 747's and new 787's (I AM married to an aerospace nerd engineer).  It was actually really cool to see and we got to see them deliver a plane to a customer (aka the plane take off and "wave" goodbye).  We weren't allowed to take any cameras, purses, cell phones, chapstick, etc on the tour so we don't have any pics of that part but here is the rest of our trip....
We went to an awesome park that had an incredible view of the city... too bad it was freezing!!!
Our awesome waterfront hotel
The very first Starbucks
The best mac n' cheese ever!
My favorite part... tons and tons of GORGEOUS flowers!!!!
