A day in Seattle {05.22.12}

Dad, Mom and I took the Amtrak to Seattle on Tuesday.  I was such a beautiful ride; mainly along the ocean.

We finally found a restaurant that didn't look sketchy to have lunch in. It was a Greek deli, close to Pike street market, with delicious food. 

 Everything looked so delicious and fresh at Pike Street market.

Except the fish-they looked too fresh.

There were so many florists with the most beautiful bouquets!

We also went to the Seattle library, which was the most impressive library I have ever seen!  We saw some posters for the King Tut exhibit that is coming to Seattle museum May 24-January 4 so maybe we be headed back the big city to see that :)

Sister time . . .

 . . .  Starbucks drinks, the Bellingham boardwalk, frisbee, and a beautiful sunset . . . (sigh) . . it couldn't have been a better day!

On Monday night Breanna took me to Fiddler on the Roof at TWU for my birthday gift.  Treats at Tim Hortons were part of the gift too :)

Thank you so much for making my sixteenth birthday so great!!!

I have been taking care of my neighbors dog and their new puppy, Chester this past week.  We haven't had a puppy at our house in several decades so Lester came along with me to play with Chester :)

I love the feeling when I get a good shot--like this one--it makes me so happy!

Leslie: I am never gonna let you move away; I just love you too much to let that happen!

Me trying to be disciplinary . . . it clearly didn't work :)

Breanna and I went out to a nearby field to try capture the beauty of Mount Baker.  These are a few of my favorite shots.

I was playing with the settings on the camera and I was so happy when I found out that I could take black and white photos!  

We live in such a beautiful area!
