seattle #2

Okay, Okay, so yes. I am officially spoiled. I'll admit it.

Jason and I had our second weekend in a row in Seattle!
This weekend, we hit the road around 7pm on Friday night and I'm sorry to say, we I forgot the backstreet boys cd.
So no singing at the top of our lungs this time!

We had planned on staying with Jason's Aunt and Uncle who live in Seattle, but we got the "no room at the inn" phone call about an hour in!
Luckily we got a room in Bellevue....
(This is where you hold your breathe.)
(Drumroll please.....)

Yes people! We stayed here.....
Hotel Bellevue.
5 star hotel!
The REAL DEAL!
I felt like royalty!
WeI had loads of fun acting like a giddy school girl running around looking, and touching everything!
We woke up the next morning and went outside to get the car from the Vallet.
......

this lovely vehicle was outside.
I told Jason I would gladly drive that instead of the Tahoe!
But I think he likes his Tahoe better!
We started to drive off when we noticed this beauty next to it..

Hmmm! Yupp, you still want the Tahoe Jason?
I was starving and instead of getting breakfast delivered to our room.
I decided it would just be better for us to go and eat somewhere else...
I ended up choosing Dennys...
Talk about going from one end of the totem pole to a low!
It quickly got eaten and we went to get the Tahoe washed.
Because after two trips to Seattle, she was looking kinda messy.
When we got a text from Mom saying the crew had made it to the Safeco Field.
We met up with Grandpa McGary, Dad, Mom, Brent, and Alexis. Brent's girlfriend.
It was a little chilly in the shade so we went and got sweatshirts and sat down!

Like Father like Son!

Cotton Candy fun(:

Finally some sunshine!

And yes! The Mariners did win 3-2 (:
thanks to the McGary/Ostrem/Torres support!
After the game the other crew headed on back home while Jason and I went to enjoy some more of Seattle.

We went down to the pier and walked around, went to the AQUARIUM!
& yes Gavinn, I thought of you the whole time!
I thought I had fun! You woulda loved it!

Had a total blast!
Walked down to Pier 66. Which is where we had dinner... At Anthonys.
Never been before! So I can officially say now that I have been.
Probably the best food I have ever had in my life.
(Next to my mom's of course!)
I had Salmon and Jason had Steak.

Then we headed decided to head back to the car!
I guess there was a huge parade going on because they had a whole bunch of streets blocked off, and duh...
TRAFFIC WAS CRAZY!
It took us forever to get out of town!
But here I am sitting in the passanger seat thinking, we're going home... already...
Jason! Being the suprise guy he is. Decided he'd take me to the Snoqualamie Falls.
Right at sunset....

HOW PERFECT HUH!
It was a gorgeous site!
It was nice just to stop and stare at the water fall. It was so cool!

But we finally got back in the car, and started on the road.
When once again... we stop at North Bend.
And yes all you women already know whats in North Bend...

Yes.. This is where the I'm spoiled part comes in..
Jason bought me, not ONE, but TWO BAGS!

How pretty are those.... You can't even lie!
We finally got on the road and headed home for real!
I felt horrible because.. I fell asleep again.
I told him all the suprises tucker me right out!
Haha (: but it was an amazing weekend!
Everything turned out perfect.
I haven't had that much fun in a long time!
And even when I got home and opened my bag to get my toothbrush out.
I found...

A whole bunch of sour punch straws!
Jason had stopped while I was asleep and snuck them into my bag!
I mean this kid never stops (:
Thank you for an amazing weekend!
Stay tuned.
Possible Weekend #3 in Seattle!

seattle

I finally found someone to make my life interesting again! So let the excitement begin!
Had planned on heading to San Fransisco for the day, but the pilots decided the 3am arrival Vegas trip was too close to our 9am wheels up plan.
So quickly thinking on his feet, we decided to go to Seattle for the day!

Yes folks! Just that quick and we were on the road.
Luckily for me, I brought my cds.. because if not. I woulda missed out on Jason jamming out..
The phrase "jamming out" I think is a little bit of an understatement!
We BOTH were singing our hearts out.
to the BACKSTREET BOYS!

It honestly was probably the best car ride. Ever!. Hands down!
It was perfect, sunroof open, windows down, sun shining, music blaring!


We quickly made it to Seattle, paid our parking and started walking. To my suprise we found the Space Needle pretty quick, because we practically parked under it!

We went and got in line, and not the smartest idea to go to a tourist attraction on a Saturday. Its like going to Disneyland during spring break.
Everyone is there! Come to find out the wait was like an hour! So
the man who thinks quickly on his feet decided we'd go on the monarail and explore, hoping the line would die down!
Those things actually get up and move! We made it to the Mall. Which is where we found these lovely things!

DELICIOUS!
We finished those bad boys pretty quick and started walking and finally reached Pike's Market.

One of the weirdest, but coolest places ever!
There was everything, to anything there.
And I will have to say the same thing about the people...
We decided that we would do a little bit of shopping..
When I say WE. I mean ME!
For some odd reason Jason found the need for ME to do some shopping.
But let me tell you being treated like a queen is not bad, at all!
I finally hit my spot, at...

Got a few shirts, a dress, and some delicious smelling spray!
After I finally shopped till I dropped.
We headed back to check out the line. And it was RIDICULOUSLY long still!
So we decided to get dinner! Which was pretty delicious on my part. I don't know if Jason enjoyed his burger as much as I enjoyed my pizza and salad. It was perfectly crispy.

We headed back over to the Space Needle one last time. And the line still, blew my mind. And mind you it was already 9:30pm!
Jason had been on business in Vegas the night before and didn't get home till 4am. And woke up at 7am to get ready for our trip. And we still had a four hour drive home! When this kid barely got any sleep as it is. So I decided it was time for us to head on home. No matter whether I went up top or not!
Remember this was the same guy who took me up in the HELICOPTER a few weeks ago!

So I mean Space needle view? Or helicopter view?

Besides. I was tired too! Maybe not in serious need of sleep like Jason but still needed some! We hopped into the Tahoe, and started to journey on home!
By the time we got to the gas station.. I was already falling asleep. Poor Jason! I crawled into the backseat and passed out.
I'm glad he knows his limit though. He ended up pulling to a rest stop for a couple hours and taking a little nap. But, yet, I was still asleep!
We got to around Ellensburg, and stopped for a pee break, and I hopped into the drivers seat! Little do you know it was like 2:30am! So this kid in the passanger seat had to be up in two hours for work! So he literally was going to go straight to work when we pulled up!
I quickly finished our road trip and got us back to home base. Where I then hopped into BLT & started my 20minute drive home!
When I got on to our street, I looked to my left. And saw this beautiful site.

It was the perfect ending to our perfect day.
