Sleepless in Seattle....Literally!

Well we are back from our fun filled weekend in Seattle. We went up to the BYU vs. Washington football game on Saturday. We dropped Mylie off to Grammy Friday night and went home to pack. We got up at 4:00 to get ready and head off to the airport. We arrived in Sea-Tac at 8:00, rented our car and drove up to the game. We arrived early, so we went to the Cougar Town party. Anyway, we had a great time at the game, with great seats. I forgot my camera in the car, so no pictures there...Bummer!!! After we won the AMAZING game, we headed to Bellevue for the much anticipated dinner at Maggianos!!! I HIGHLY recommend this FABULOUS restaurant. It was pricey...but SO WORTH IT! If you live in a big city, Vegas, Denver, Seattle, etc...they most likely have one. After we left there, stuffed to the brim, we went to the Mariners vs. Yankees game. It was so much fun. We sat in right-center field and Chris brought his glove to the game because he was determined to catch a home-run ball. Well sure enough Jason Giambi steps up to the plate and he was hitting left, so I turned to Chris and said "Get your mit, this is coming our way." Well I wasn't kidding, he hit a straight shot and it was headed straight for us, Chris jumped up, Got stuck trying to get over my legs, leaned over the guy in front of him and SMACK...the ball hit the inside of his glove bouncing off and landing behind the fence but out of our reach!!! It was so funny...We ALMOST had the homerun ball. We had a good time and a whole lot of laughs that day.

Sunday, we went to visit a couple people in Lacey and Olympia that I taught on my mission. It was fun to show Chris around and how beautiful the state of Washington really is.

Monday, we hit the Pike Place Farmers market. It was a blast. Ate at the yummy bakeries, smell the gross fish markets, but all in all we had a great time! It was a super fun trip and super fast. But we missed our little Mylie and couldn't wait to see her again.
