Chrissi and Pat, my big sister and her husband came to
visit us in Seattle for a few days sans kids. Liam and Ryan stayed home with
Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Andy in King.
Since I had just taken a week of vacation, it was hard to
get out of work a few days after returning. Fortunately they agreed to ride the
light rail into downtown from SeaTac airport. I volunteers with a group of GGLO
co-workers in the morning. I didn’t get to do much construction per say on the
Habitat House for the Future at Seattle Center. Pamela and I were tasked with
putting together IKEA kitchen cabinetry. That sure was a challenge. I really
hate that there are no words so it’s not clear when say this side up is
important. But we agreed that what happened that day will not be repeated. ;)
I met Chrissi & Pat at the light rail stop and took
them into my office to drop off their luggage. It was time for lunch at Pike
Place Market. First stop, Piroshky Piroshky. A little bit of meat, vegetables
and rhubarb stuffed in a Russian pastry = a little bit of heaven. We ate at
Victor Steinbruck Park overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront.
Pike Place Fish Market.
Beechers Mac n Cheese.
Pat & Jackie checking out Post Alley from above while
Chrissi just likes the bench at Pike Place Brewery. We had some beers here
while we waited for Joe to head downtown to pick us up for dinner.
We did some tea tasting at a shop in Pike Place Market.
Waterfront.
First Space Needle sighting.

Downtown Seattle from Waterfront Park.
Ferry coming in.
We then met up with Joe who drove down to Seattle to pick
us up and go to dinner. First we stopped at Kerry Park on the top of Queen Anne
hill overlooking downtown.
We then drove to Wallingford to eat at Bizzarro
Italian Café, one of our favorite Seattle restaurants.
