Todd (Ryan's childhood friend) and Jen Gibson traveled to the west coast from Connecticut for a quick weekend visit before continuing their trip down the coast to Napa, California. While in Seattle, Ryan and I showed Todd and Jen some of our favorite places in Seattle:
- Pike Place Market - including the famous flying fish stand,
- Ballard Locks (where ships, yachts, and other boats transition from inland waters to the Puget Sound and where visitors can see salmon use a fish ladder during their migration from ocean to fresh water for reproduction),
- Discovery Park ,
- Madame K's brothel-themed pizza restaurant,
- Ballard Farmer's Market , and
- The Fremont Troll
The weather was divine and we managed to tire ourselves out enough to need naps in the afternoon. Todd and Jen left this morning in a hot red Mustang convertible to continue their trek south. When it's all said and done, Todd and Jen will stop in Portland, Oregon; Brookings, Oregon (via the gorgeous coastal highway); Napa, California; and San Francisco. We can't wait to see all the pictures from their amazing trip! Here are some pictures from our weekend together:
