a decade later

we celebrated our 10 year anniversary with a trip to seattle. 10 years? really? yep!

we began our weekend with a ferry ride to bainbridge island, took a nature walk, ate some wild black berries and headed back. the ferry was a beautiful way to view the city

us on the ferry…who would have thought that you would need to BUNDLE UP in AUGUST?!?

the next morning we headed to the market. crazy place. the fruits and flowers were just as impressive as the famous fish.

adam picked up this sandwich for breakfast and and said, “it’s so nice, I don’t want to open it.” but “it” contained food, so he did. behind him are sacks of cheese cloth draining the whey off to make cheese curds.

the candy shop. was i buying candy for the kids? nope. they carried some violet candy that my mom and i love. it’s hard to find any more, but it’s fun when i find it. it reminds me of going to seaport village when i was little.

after the market we rented some bikes and toured the olympic sculpture park and the seattle center. my feet hurt SO BAD from all the walking. I was so, so, so happy to be on wheels.

our hotel was beautiful. built in 1927 and full of character and class. we really could not have been in a better location, the walkability was perfect.
