Marsha's Chihuly umbrella

Pike's Place Market

We met here for a food tour.  It started with donuts.

Orange Spice Tea

Several types of salmon and we got to watch the fish throwing.

Clam chowder and seafood chowder

Cheeses and mac and cheese

Apple pastries plus many other tastings.  It was all very good.  I tasted everything. We ended with crab cakes.

Interesting bathroom signs

I did not realize until after I took this picture that there is another Y at the end.

Don't we look great.  Ready for the Theo chocolate tour.

Then we started driving home.  We stopped for dinner in Tumwater. 

A delicious meal.  I had chicken wrapped in ham and stuffed with asparagus and cheese and pesto pasta.

I would recommend this place.

I got home about 10 pm.  What a fun weekend.

Saturday evening

After the Chihuly Glass Museum we rode the monorail - a whole 2 minute ride.  It went to the Westlake Mall.  Not a very interesting mall.  Though we did find one interesting store.

One the way back to the Seattle Center Marsha and I sat up front.  Marsha got to beep the horn.  We walked back to the hotel and unloaded our stuff

The hotel had complementary pineapple muffins. They were good.

We staked out our sleeping places.  Then went to dinner.  Queen Anne McMenamins was half a block away.

We sat up a talked a bit before we all crashed.

Chihuly

WOW

After Chihuly we came out to a gorgeous sunset.  

Weekend in Seattle, Saturday Nov 8

On our way.  Marsha, Connie, Jeanne and Judy

We checked into the hotel and parked the car.  Then we walked to the Space Needle for lunch

Are these for you? 

Prawns with caramelized onions and grain.  Very delicious

The best hazelnut crusted french toast

A view of Mt Rainier

Marsha's birthday

The view of the labyrinth from above.

After lunch we went down and walked the labyrinth.  It was right next door to the music museum.  Interesting building.

We had a 4 pm timed entry to the Chihuly Glass Museum. That will take its own entry.
