Road Trip - Seattle

After our last night on the Olympic Peninsula we drove Sally onto the ferry and headed across Puget Sound to Seattle. We were looking forward to a week of relaxation and hanging out with friends, and that is pretty much exactly what we got. We ate some good food, I got some editing done (love being underemployed), we took Neko (the dog) on walks and runs, we got to see some old friends (Erin and Keelin), made some new friends, and even took in a Seattle Mariners game!

In addition to those stellar events, we also saw two celebrities! The two celebrity spotting was astounding considering we lived in San Diego for over five years and didn't see any celebs.

The first spotting happened at a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in the University area of Seattle. We were walking in to look for some UW Huskies gear when a man held the door open for us. I immediately recognized this man to be Viper from Top Gun! Yeah, Tom Skerritt was at a Big 5 buying a fishing license. We didn't know whether or not we should bother an old man trying to buy a fishing license, so Lacey just took a creeper photo of him from the stairs in the store. It kinda looks like something from that terrible TMZ show doesn't it?

Our next celebrity sighting was at the Pyramid brewery outside SafeCo field in Seattle. We were playing bags (I know, awesome) and Wee-Man came out of a crowd (literally, because he's short). A bunch of guys asked to take a picture with him, and I took that as an opportunity to take a picture myself.

Just in case you couldn't tell which guy is Wee-Man, he's the one in the white T-shirt in the middle ;)

Anyway, the trip to Seattle was great, and it was sad to leave after such a fun time staying with Kayla, Brian, and Neko. So that was our trip to Seattle and we can't wait to go back. We miss our friends there already :(

Enjoy some pictures!
