Continuing our theme of showing the Olivers around, no trip to the Seattle area is complete without a few stops. And... I got to play with my new toy. Ronnie bought me a new camera. I am beyond excited about it and the pictures I captured.
We headed out bright and early Saturday morning and made a beeline for the Bremerton ferry. We had ridden the ferry when we went to the San Juan Islands back in April and the girls wanted to share that with Grammy and Papa. The ferry system here is one of the best ways to see the Sound.... of course, the weather couldn't have been more pretty.
After an hour's ride, we landed at Pier 52 in downtown Seattle. We quickly found our favorite parking spot and headed out on foot to discover the rest of Seattle. Another of our favorite things is to eat fish and chips at the counters at Pike Place Market. Sarah has her Ab-SO-lute favorite and we HAVE to go there over any other place every time. After grabbing lunch, we wandered around the market taking in all the sites (and with me snap-snap-snapping pictures. Did I mention I love my new camera????)
After we had our fill of the market, we made our way to Seattle Center. Of course, we did it with style - we took the Monorail. The Olivers decided they didn't want to wait in the hour+ long line for the Space Needle, so we just hung out at other Seattle Center sites. We played on the lawn and at Friendship Fountain.
Before you ask, no I did not "enhance" the sky with my fancy new camera. It is really that blue up here....
