Today was for downtown Seattle. Very busy day...Pike Place Market in the morning, a stop at the original Starbucks to use our gift cards, free admission day at the Seattle Art Museum, lunch at Ivar's Acres of Clams, walking through the International District so that Jamie could get some bubble tea (a slushy strawberry drink with strange tapioca balls at the bottom that you suck up through an oversized straw), and an evening visit to the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum during their free hours today. Just so happens that some things in Seattle are free on the first Thursday of every month. And just so happens that today was the first Thursday of this very month. How fortunate. There was a very cool Jim Henson exhibit at the EMP|SFM with lots of his drawings of muppets and other strange creatures.
Love that Pike's Market..........make sure you have some Dungeness Crab while in the area, it is great!
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie!! Hi Holly!! Jamie, your Bro is here in the 'burg...he thanks you for your old cell phone, being as they could not do too much with his current non-functioning one...it's nice that yours has a pretty recent new battery...anyway, while at your abode, Fozzie I and Fozzie II were starting to do some "grumbling" while Bob and I were there to pick up your old cell....seems like they got wind of the trip good 'ole Burt and Ernie are on with you. I tried to placate them, but I think they are still a little undone....I took away the M&M's they had....they were getting a little messy....
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!!!! xo
Hi Jamie & Holly: It's the Fourth of July in NJ so I guess it's the 4th where you are too....So Happy Holiday!!Are you going to see Fireworks??? Love Ya... Auntie Pat
ReplyDeleteThere are fireworks in Gasworks Park, about a mile from where we're staying, so we can walk down there, but it's the only fireworks show in the city, so they're predicting 50,000 people will be showing up. Sounds a little crowded to us, so Holly has this vision that there's going to be some little secret spot elsewhere from which we can see the fireworks. We'll see how it turns out.
ReplyDeletethe original starbucks!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can actually get Bubble Tea at the Chez Trinh Vietnamese Restauarant in Williamsburg too in case you get a craving for it when you get back....We had it for the first time in Chinatown, San Francisco....good stuff..
