It’s hard to believe that we’re only ten days away from getting married.
OK. It’s not THAT hard to believe as we’ve been doing a million little things to tie up the loose ends. Last night we went over songs with the guitarist, went over the flow of the ceremony with the officiant, and finished up the little wedding favors.
My whole immediate family arrives on Saturday. They are staying the whole week in Seattle at a house in Capitol Hill. We’ve already got some more golf on the schedule as well as a Baseball game on Monday night. With the Mariners almost 15 games back we might only see the latest recruits from the Minors, but it should be fun anyway. Kelly and I have to work the first few days of next week, but they should be able to keep themselves busy with trips to the Pike Place Market, Space Needle and Aquarium.
If you’re coming to Seattle, here are a few insider tips:
1. Get the little donut holes at the Market. They are DELICIOUS. The little donut stand is located right near the main entrance on Pike, across from the fish throwers.
2. See them make cheese and get fresh cheese at Bleecher’s cheese, also in the Market. Our favorite is the Homboldt Fog from CA. NO, it isn’t local but it’s SO GOOD.
3. Get a savory tart from La Panier French bakery in the Market. Are you noticing a pattern here?
4. VISIT THE SEATTLE LIBRARY. It’s the most amazing building in Seattle. SERIOUSLY. I take clients there it’s that cool. Designed by Rem Koolhaus. You can spend hours roaming around it.
5. The Space Needle gives a good view of the city and is located right in the middle of a number of other tourist attractions, but if you’re here during the week, the best view is from the Bank of America tower on 4th Ave. It’s the big, tall, black, and round building.
6. Stop by our new apartment in Belltown. We always looking for a reason to open a bottle of wine and the best restaurants and bars are located just blocks away. Our address is 2440 Western Ave, Seattle WA.
See you soon.
