Drove to Seattle, parked in the Macy's parking garage. Pike Place Market. Bought cherries, bought pastries at Three Girls Bakery, visited the mini donut machine (which was disappointingly broken for part of the time), flying fish, golden pig, Fran's chocolate shop, stopped for a few minutes at a lookout just off 1st Avenue. Christine and Zach took off, Nancy joined us. Rode the bus to Pioneer Square, visited Magic Mouse Toys, stopped at the Underground Tour but no one more than halfheartedly wanted to go so no one did, visited the totem pole and pergola, stopped at a local coffee chain called Starbucks, walked to 1st and King. I took photos of Merrill Place and 83 King. Visited Waterfall Park. We found Salumi even though we knew it was closed. Saw Smith Tower from a distance. Walked to Central Library where the kids found books and Nancy checked them out. We ran out of time and didn't even leave the ground floor. Drove to Christine and Doug's. Christine had prepared a delicious feast for us then she and Doug left for a few hours for a meeting while we watched Mia and Zach and the other kids while they were gone. The kids played.
