Seattle Watch - Night One

Hello from... there are just not enough words for how much I love this city... Seattle!! One of my friends at dinner last night (pics below) asked me what is that makes me love it so much? My response? The weather (not raining yet but it's coming!), the water, the smell of the water, the ferry boats, all the other boats, the skyline, the island views, I could go on an on!

Here's the link for my first night hotel - So much fun!

So let's share pictures today by way of a commercial that we're all familiar with...
(yes, finally broke down and bought a new digital camera on the way to the airport yesterday!)

Cost of walking into hotel room at Edgewater ON Elliot Bay and thinking of the view when the drapes are opened... Priceless!


Weighing the option of watching the Alabama-FSU game on this TV with the view through the drapes or going to SPORTS, a sports bar across from the space needle, to interact with my Seattle people? :-)


Priceless!

Having dinner at Bell Street Diner at Pier 66 with friends FROM BIRMINGHAM and friends that have just moved to Seattle?

Yep, priceless!

from left to right -

Brian and Sharon, Mike's boss in Birmingham and his wife - they are so much fun!

Francesca and Nick, Francesca worked me at Sterling Brownell and they've just moved to Seattle for Nick to go to law school at Seattle University. I may have to visit them every 3 months!

Mike, my great friend from Birmingham that I used to work with at Blockbuster, that's in town for a conference on the same weekend!

Sitting here in this chair, with the bear ottoman, the roaring fire in front...

And this view to your immediate right?

PRICELESS!

More later - I won't be able to help myself!
