"Stay away, Bigfoot lives in Seattle." -Jeff
I am starting to think this rain thing may be anti-Seattle tourist propaganda. Either that, or I am a Photoshop genius. You will have to decide.
We headed across the sound on a very cool ferry this morning. Jeff, Angie, and Christopher showed us around the Seattle waterfront. We enjoyed the beautiful views, the strange and curious objects in the shops, and Nick got a strong kick out of the first Starbucks. (It was nice of Jeff and Angie to indulge him there, as they are not fans. I think Jeff said, "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks.")
We then headed for Pike Place Market, which was amazing. The fresh fruit (especially berries) was delicious. Scott got cinnamon almonds, and I got a dried bouquet of flowers. It was fun watching them throw fish around. All of the gorgeous flowers were $10 or less a bunch. Then they took us to Golden Age Collectibles, and the kids spent all kinds of souvenir money on fandom related items from Doctor Who to Sherlock to Supernatural. Scott picked up some Firefly stuff, and even I got an Agent Coulson SHIELD ID badge. We finished the day with a Chinese buffet and are now relaxing before some massive driving scheduled for tomorrow. I just wish we had more time with our family.
