Saturday in Seattle

Oh, what a perfect day! Overcast, chilly, and finally about 2pm... precipitation arrived! What a blessing to get the exact day I wanted!

First, a picture of the back side of the hotel from Friday night - taken from the water, more on that in a minute!
(my room was on 2nd floor, 5th window from the right - I forgot to close those drapes when I left!)

We went to Francesca and Nick's house first thing and it's so pretty! It's at the top of the Queen Anne section of Seattle and here's a sneek peek - cute little garden area right inside the gate and then cute blue house...

With this spectacular view...

See the Space Needle on the left and the water straight ahead?

Ahhhhh!

Then we were off on Francesca's first harbor cruise (where the picture of Edgewater was taken). We had so much fun just riding and looking at all the sights!

Cruise leaves from Pier 56, right next to The Crab House restaurant. See their sign over Francesca's left shoulder? 3 fisherman in their boat!

Then it was off to SPORTS to watch the Alabama-FSU game. Even though the game was dismal and hurt to watch - there was a contingent of the Alabama Alumni Assocation so I made some friends!

(Right when Francesca was taking this picture, they changed the channel on the TV behind me away from Bama. Just not right!)

Then on the way to the hotel, this was the view at a stop light -

And this was the view at the stop light next to the Fairmont - cool building, huh?

(what's that on the car window? Seattle RAIN!!!)

And then? Home Sweet Home for Saturday night. A girl could get used to this!
