Seattle

On Thursday Katie and I drove from here to Seattle!!! It took about 14 hours to get there, which honestly wasn't that bad. We stayed at Brea and Mike's house, which is a super cute 1930's style condo.  On Friday Katie and I went to the Space Needle.  It was super cool!!! It is over 60 stories tall!! It was really nice and we had lunch up at the top... clam chowder in a bread bowl!! AMAZING!! Although the bread was definitely not as good as San Francisco!! We could not have asked for a better day... it was blue skies and you could see Mt. Rainier!! So beautiful!!! After the space needle we walked down to Pike's Place, which is a HUGE farmer's market.  It was really cool to see all the stuff and see the people throwing the fish!! after we went to the market we went to see a Washington stealth game, which is an indoor lacrosse team that Brea and Mike work at.  They got us free tickets!!! Thanks guys!!! It was a lot of fun!!! After that we went to a bar and went dancing... which was a lot of fun.  The bars are definitely different than     California. 

The next day we left for the Olympics... after we got back we spent one more day in Seattle before coming back home.  We went to Brea and Mike's favorite restaurant...which was super super good!! we just loaded up on tons of seafood!! Awesome!!! We took a ferry to Bainsbridge, which is a super cute little town, that actually looks a lot like downtown Pleasanton.  It was a really great trip to Seattle, which is a gorgeous city!! Way clean!! But it was really good to see Brea and Mike...Thanks again guys!!
