So many photos, so little blog!

Ok seriously behind, I know! So what's been going on in the great Pacific Northwest you ask? Lots!

First of all we had another visitor last week! My mom came to see the flower show (well and us of course!) last Tuesday and stayed for a week - it was great to see her! Not only did she cook us food, but she walked Clay (you see I'm tired at the end of my day and I walk to and from the bus each day so I'm ready to crash on the couch and escape into some tv - while Clay has been sitting on the couch watching tv (ok, and working too) and is ready to go out and do some walking when I get home), chipped in on some AMAZING vinegars for us at Pike Place Market, ventured throughout the Seattle neighborhoods with us, and even joined us on our weekly Library/Rock Bottom Brewery Sunday walk.


Our weekend was then filled with a drive around the different Seattle neighborhoods. So the first picture above is from Alki, which is the West Seattle Beach that has amazing views of the Seattle skyline, a tiny bit of beach, and several local restaurants and shops. The other two are taken from Gas Works Park (aka the park where the naked cyclist parade ends). We got to the park just in time to watch the sun go down - I'm sure my mom has some great pics, but at this point our camera pales in comparison to hers, so I'll have to wait for her to send us the pics from our next stop: Kerry Park (home of the view used on Frasier for the view from his condo).

On Sunday we got to walk around downtown and cap it all off with some Fire Chief Ale at Rock Bottom - how perfect is that??
On Monday she sadly departed for Atlanta, but she promises to be back in April :)

Those pictures are great, Erika! How did you get that panoramic one of the city? Is your camera just that cool?

I really wish that I could come visit. I could use a change of scenery.

I wish you could visit too!!!!!

The panoramic pics are all Clay - he loves making those on his camera: he takes two pics and then the camera aligns them together - pretty cool, eh?

I miss you!!!!
