Anyhow we started off the day taking a trolley to Lake Union and the Center for Wooden Boats. We signed up to enjoy a free sail later in the afternoon. (We ended up not doing this because it was so hot and the air so still that it would have been more like a work-really-hard-to-row-this-heavy-boat-to-the-dock sort of sail.) After this we walked over to the Chihuly Glass and Garden which was so stunning. Every exhibit was absolutely beautiful. What a talented man with a fantastic vision.
After this we grabbed a bite to eat at a little organic French sandwich shop. (I will definitely be posting the recipe for my sandwich - delicious!) After walking all the way back to the Center for our non-sailing experience (I struck our names from the list while Husband whistled a tune and slowly walked backwards out of the joint), we took the trolley back towards our hotel. We stopped off for a refreshing smoothie (it was HOT today!), got to pet a ten-week-old golden doodle pup, and then went to the hotel to get my "for real" camera (i.e. not my iPhone camera). From there we walked to the Seattle Art Museum and got in just about an hour of perusing their collection before it closed at five. Off to Pike Place Market to get a little snack for the Man (he gets real crabby when he is low on fuel). He got a small sample of mac and cheese at this cheese shop (it was amazing- he shared!) and them we walked to the Space Needle. Though I was a little wobbly at the top (I inherited a weak-kneed fear of heights from my mother), I was ably to snap a bunch of pictures AND keep my eyes open on the way down! From here we took a walk through the Olympic Sculpture Park and then began looking for a dinner spot. (It seems like all we do is eat but this description covers a 11-hour span, I swear.) Though it got a little hairy at one point (I share the same hunger-induced crankiness as my Husband), we happened upon a restaurant called 360 where all if the ingredients come from within a 360 mile radius. We both ordered a burger and it was superb! (I mean, buttering the bun before it's grilled is so Louie's Lunch in New Haven, CT and is just to die for.) We then walked back to the hotel (quick stop at Target and an ice cream place for Hubby), took showers, and finally sunk into our very comfy King sized bed.
Day 2 success!
