Seattle Trip

I love these girls SO MUCH!  Leah, Marie-Christine and I try to get together about once a year if we can, and I had missed the last reunion when I started my new job at Thunder Vista.  This time we decided to meet up in Seattle, inspired by Gavin and Gage heading to Pam & Bob's in Sequim, north of Seattle, during the same time period.  Leah flew to Seattle from Alaska, MC drove from Oregon and I flew from Colorado.  Leah found us a SWEET Air B 'n B place in a great part of town, but of course we would have had a fabulous time even if we'd been stuck in a paper bag together.  I always truly relish the very real, active, honest and fun times we have together.  These sweet sisters in Christ are my dear friends for life.  In the picture above we are heading to Bainbridge Island on a ferry where we enjoyed the afternoon together walking, talking and taking advantage of a tasty happy hour on Taco Tuesday ;)  The three of us have a beautiful and easy rhythm, which is one of the things I love the most about our time together and our friendship, in general. 

These pictures were taken at the famous Pike Place Market.  It was fun to see it all, but the prices weren't what I expected and none of us bought much there at all. As good as the seafood there would have been, Leah's hand-caught wild salmon straight from Alaska was even better (and free)!  I LOVED how she pulled out several frozen portions of the salmon from her beast-of-a-suitcase, along with an entire bag of power greens from Costco that have become my newest favorite food.  She cooked those bad boys up like a pro, with some butter, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon to top it off.  Yummmm!!!!
