A Birthday in Seattle

Eddie's belated birthday celebration could not have gone better. Not only did we celebrate his big day, the trip also landed on our first wedding anniversary. While you can say we ate our way through Seattle, we also walked 4 miles a day (thanks fitbit). Our hotel was centrally located downtown so we were close to all of the attractions. My brother had generously bought Eddie tickets with really great seats to the Yankees game.

We surprised ourselves with the vast amounts of walking we did, staying out late, watching a couple of movies, Pitch Perfect 2 (not as good as the first one) and Poltergeist (not too scary), and even playing games at a local arcade. Despite the fact that this is my fourth visit to Seattle, it seemed like the first time in a lot of ways, since I had never done any of the tours. Celebrating our first anniversary on a trip together was icing on the cake. We shared so many laughs on this vacation and had the best time together. Can't wait for our next trip!

A little nourishment after a 2.5 hour flight as we plan our trip.

We had a taxi take us to Lakeside Cemetary, just a 10 min cab ride.

1 Adult Ticket with Quaker please, a fun 90 min land and water excursion with  Captain Marty Graw.


Two hungry guys, Eddie and Neil, hoping Crumpets are filling breakfast food.

On our food tour on a cold and rainy day.

Our tour guide with 80% meat no filler sausage samples. That's Eddie on the right. Nice wrist action.


Maybe our best doughnut in Seattle, sugar dusted, warm, and chewy.
