A Weekend in Seattle

It has been several years since I had been to Seattle, a Managers meeting was my last time. MB went for a business trip a couple years ago and J had never been. We took a direct flight from Redmond to Seatac and then used Link light rail to get around. Jaxon doesn't remember using the Trax in SLC, so figuring Link out and riding the train was pretty fun for him 

 So many tall buildings, something we don't see very often any more.
We bought the City Pass and had a busy couple days seeing as many sights as we could squeeze in.

Visiting the Space Needle was pretty cool and windy 😉 

Headed to what I remember as the EMP - Experience Music Project but now called MoPOP - Museum of Pop Culture. The homeless man in the background would be one of many that we would see. Another new experience for J. He was affected and torn, as so many of us can be about the homeless. He asked us, as we were leaving The Cheesecake Factory one evenong, if he could give his take home meal to the man outside the building, the man was so very grateful.

Listening to music - so much of this museum was from my era. hmmm - getting old. 
  My shoes matched Prince's motorcycle perfectly
 Classic SNL
 This was a phenomenal display of Pearl Jam!
 Showcased movies as well

Checking out the Seattle Science Center. Lots of hands on stuff to check out

 I love aquariums! And Jelly Fish! The Seattle Aquarium didn't disappoint.

 Enjoying the sights on the Piers

Headed to T-Mobile stadium via Link
 Mariners vs White Sox 11-10 ! Great game! 
 Of course some Cracker Jacks
 Mariner Moose

Taking a Harbor Cruise on a beautiful sunny afternoon
 
Sea Lions had taken up residence on the buoy

Shenanigans 

 Loved the heights and lights

 Found a delish Irish Pub

There was actually a Cruise ship docked for a bit. Totally amazed at the size of those things!

 Found a new Cidery - Locust - Yum
Jaxon Got to experience a little Nintendo


 J was in heaven - we checked out Nike Seattle - he just sat there and tried on shoes

So glad we found the Biscuit Bitch - best and craziest breakfast we had while we were there
 The fish market

 Of course lots of Chowda!
