A Day In Seattle

Our adventure today took us down

the road and

across the Hood Canal Bridge to Bainbridge Island. Here we parked

the Jeep and

paid our $10.00 for the day. We then

loaded on to the ferry and made our way across Puget Sound to

Seattle. Upon docking at

the pier, we walked ourselves several blocks

past the art museum and through the

streets of Seattle to

Lola’s. This is a restaurant that we have seen on Food TV and we were all after the

made to order donuts served with vanilla mascarpone cheese and huckleberry jam. Yummy! Now, after a mid-morning treat like this, it was a good thing we had lots of walking ahead of us for the day.

We were back out on the sidewalks of Seattle were we got a good view

of the Space Needle and

Quest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks.

We kept walking and finally arrived at the major attraction for the day and our main reason for coming to Seattle. And, that was

Pike Market. This is the biggest farmer’s market I have ever seen. There were

watermelons,

strawberries and blackberries, peaches and

pastries! Then, there were

flowers and

more flowers. But, then came

the fish market….with

shrimp,

lobster,

salmon, and

crab! Wow…is all I could say.

Now, believe it or not…after those donuts and walking and looking, the guys decided it was lunchtime. LOL

We made the decision when we saw

The Pike Place Chowder Cafe. There I had

seafood bisque and a crab salad sandwich. The rest chose clam chowder and the crab sandwich. Another great choice. And, after a delicious lunch, we headed to

Tully’s for coffee beans. Then, we stopped by

Sephora’s, where Ellie and I needed to replace some make-up items. We also made a stop at

the T Shirt store.

As we headed back by the market to get Ellie some

pretty flowers, we were

entertained by this guy on the street corner.

Finally, it was time to head back to the pier, but not before taking one more look at all the

fruits and

veggies.

Oh, I almost forgot…there was one last stop….and that was by

Fran’s, another place that has been featured on Food TV. And, yes….we did all get some

chocolate.

We then made our way back to the pier, loaded on the ferry headed back to Bainbridge Island where we

first started this morning. What a finish to an awesome day!
