Darby and Mark down by Pier 70


Heading up from the waterfront to Pike Place Market


Darby, Grayson, and Mark entering the market


Pike Place Market was packed


The locally-grown flowers were gorgeous and fragrant


The flowers masked the smell of seafood... sort of...


Hello!


Look closely ... Can you spot the flying fish?
A common practice in the market to toss large fish after purchase


Darby, Jonna, and Grayson at the street-level entrance of the market


The original Starbuck's - established 1971


Inside the original Starbuck's


This balloon artist amused us


Darby and her new sand art purchase... ever the artist


Darby and Grayson by the totem poles in Pioneer Square Park


Jonna and Mark in Pioneer Square Park


This memorial was dedicated to fallen firefighters of Seattle


Inside Glasshouse Studios - the oldest glass-blowing studio in Seattle


Darby and Grayson at the Klondike Gold Rush National Park


Mark spun the wheel to see if he would have found fortune in the gold rush?
So would he have struck gold? Nope! Few did.


The park ranger demonstrated the technique to pan for gold


Hooray! Darby and Grayson earned the Junior Ranger badge!


Interesting art...


Darby and Grayson grabbing some Mexican at Guaymas Cantina


Acting a little silly after a long day!


Grayson waiting for the "free" bus that never came!


Art work in front of the Seattle Art Museum


Everyone is actually moon-walking backwards, in a 1,000+ person tribute to
Michael Jackson, who died this week at 50 yrs old. The PA System was blaring "Thriller".


Grayson picked out a new apartment in Seattle


Mark, Jonna, and Grayson hiked 7 blocks up to a park for a sunset view


Jonna is moving into this house..best view, gorgeous landscaping...
wonder if the owners will mind?


It was an amazingly clear view tonight with the Space Needle
and Mt. Rainier in the background


Grayson wanted us to try to "hold" Mt. Rainier in our hands


...we tried again with the Space Needle


Mark and Grayson pose for another beautiful shot


Grayson clowning around in the park


Who wouldn't love this view?


The Space Needle was right next to our hotel and glows at night
