seattle - day one

Tim and I were lucky to be able to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary in Seattle. We spent our honeymoon in Seattle so it was a perfect place to enjoy together as a couple eleven years later. It was a much needed vacation for both of us. Tim flew into Seattle on Tuesday for work. He spent three days in the city working and trying to get over his dizziness. I flew in to Seattle on Thursday. Tim picked me up from the airport. We dropped off my stuff at the hotel and then we headed downtown. He was really eager to show me around. Obviously, I had been to Seattle before, but nothing seemed familiar to me. I was pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous Washington is. Everywhere we drove we saw this...
I loved all the greenery. I was in awe by how gorgeous the freeways and neighborhoods were. Not to mention, I never once felt a drop of rain in the 4 days I was there. It was heavenly! After exploring downtown, we chose a restaurant that was right on the Pier, next to Pike's Place Market; called Cutter's Bayhouse. The view of the water was incredible. (I found this picture online.)
Here I am sitting on the pier enjoying the gorgeous view (and all the entertaining people)!
After dinner we headed back to our hotel, enjoying the spectacular scenery on the way home. We stayed just 15 minutes from downtown. It worked out great!
