YEA!!!!
Doesn't this just look like the perfect Seattle day? :-)
(See the Holland America ship in the middle about to depart on their 18 day Panama Canal cruise?)
So our Sunday was jammed packed with fun. First, Francesca and I were off to Pike Place Market for some shopping and sightseeing...
Then it was off to the Seattle Mariners-Texas Rangers game at Safeco Field - maybe my 2nd favorite thing all weekend next to reading by the fire with the bear ottoman and ferry boats driving by!

Safeco Field is awesome! Retractable roof so rain's never an issue but still open on the sides so you can enjoy the chill!
Ok, if you're not a baseball fan, or more specifically a Mariners fan, you'll probably want to skip the next 50 pictures... just kidding, but there are several of them and I just couldn't bring myself not to include each one.

First up - It was Fan Appreciation Day so there was a lot of action including Super Heroes every where you turned. Here's Oxy-Gene - he wanted us to keep the stadium clean!
And Oxy-Gene posing with Nick and Francesca. There was some debate about how quick Francesca was to rub on Oxy's muscles!
Bottom of the 2nd and it's Ichiro up to bat!
Even the hot dog vendors sit down to watch Ichiro!
Adam Jones' triple play - very exciting!
Jose Lopez's homer in the 6th -
An important part of the game that I'm leaving out? Ballpark snacks. Let me say that I'd never had Garlic Fries before and oh my goodness - they are good! As demonstrated here by the cute couple!

(please notice all that's left is the garlic!)
How cool is the scoreboard with the Space Needle in lights?
JJ Putz comes to pitch it out in the top of the 9th and the place went CRAZY!!
And he is walking onto the mound - really, seriously, the place was rocking!
And finally? WE WON THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON...

(but aren't in the playoffs so still a little disappointing.)
We didn't want to leave Safeco - they were cleaning up and still we hung around -
What to do after an exciting game? We went to GameWorks and had fun playing Dance Dance Revolution! Here's Francesca doing her thing -
Nick and I played too but Francesca beat us hands down! Then it was off to see Bourne Ultimatum (they hadn't seen it yet!!) and finally, off to dinner at my FAVORITE Seattle restaurant! Elliott's Oyster Bar!

It was an unforgettable, fantastic, fun weekend and guess what?
Yep! Can't wait to go back! Would November be too soon?

I don't think November is too soon. I've never been to Seattle, and now I know I'll never go WITHOUT YOU! Your a great ambassador for the city!
