Ray and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Officially it was last year on September 1st., but after this many years, what is time? We shall have a blast - we've always traveled well together. I think he figures if I'm happy, then he'll be happy. I'm a map studier, brochure collecting fool. And with all of that info and a basic plan, we can still wing it.
Our goal (Ray might not know it yet) on Friday is downtown Seattle - Space Needle, Pike Market, Chihuly Glass museum, and whatever else strikes our fancy. Saturday is waterfalls/hiking nature walk near our hotel in Bothel (suburbs). Sunday afternoon - Mariners baseball game. Mark another park off of our list
Monday - I'm psyched for a clipper ship ride over to Victoria, Canada. Tour of the city and a few hours at Bouchard Gardens. Oh, it won't be enough time, but that's okay.
Plenty to discover. So give me a week and I'll be back with more pictures and stories to bore you.
Gosh, I love to travel.
Then again, with the way the airlines are - we could get to Europe easier than Seattle. Deep breaths, please no crying babies...........click our heels together three times and we're there. When will teleporting be invented? Surely Elon Musk or Richard Branson have the magic key....

Happy Anniversary! Hope you have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeletewe always do have fun. Thanks
DeleteHappy anniversary! Seattle's a great place to visit. Be sure and take a boat ride if it's a nice day. The city has a gorgeous skyline. And leave yourself plenty of time to explore the Pike Street Market; there's a lot more to it than guys throwing fish, and there are a lot of bookstores and shops along the street outside.
ReplyDeleteI never made it to a Mariners game while I was there, but it looks like a good place to see a ballgame. And lots of luck with the airlines...
thanks. I plan to be around the water a lot. And I'm dangerous in bookstores... must pack light.
DeleteYou guys are going to have a great time! You've picked all the best locations. Happy anniversary and go have fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the city so far

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful 25th (almost 26th) anniversary celebration! You will love Victoria, as it has a European feel. Glad you'll be seeing the beautiful Buchard Gardens. I've never been to Seattle, but I've heard so many great things about it. Hope you and Ray have a fabulous trip!

Really fun so far. Been busy
DeleteOur 30th is next year. We hope to go on a long trip.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we'll even go together.
I spent our actual 25th last year in Italy with a friend. Hence Seattle this year. We make it work
Delete30 is awesome.
A very happy anniversary trip to you and your hubs, Joanne. I'm excited for you and can't wait to see more photos. I love Victoria Id. I hope you'll have tea at the Empress.
ReplyDeleteAwesome time so far. Busy. The Underground Seattle tour was weirdly funny. Good times.
DeleteI never went on The Underground Seattle tour. I can't wait to read (and see photos) about/of it. Keep enjoying, Joanne!
DeleteHave a fabulous Anniversary. I know what you mean about travel. If only we could click our heels and be there!
ReplyDeleteBuchard Gardens are beautiful! You'll really enjoy seeing them! Happy Anniversary! Hope you enjoy your trip.
