Saturday. Picked parents up from their hotel and went to McDonalds for breakfast. Drove to Snoqualmie Falls and hiked to the bottom, took photos, and hiked back up. Went to the gift store. Drove to Twede's Cafe in North Bend, ate dessert (I had chocolate cream pie), then drove to Roslyn (about 50 minutes away). Drank at the Brick -- the bar in Northern Exposure -- took some photos and looked in the gift shops. Drove back to the hotel, enjoyed the air-conditioning and had a scotch. Drove to Tap House Grill, ate dinner, walked around downtown Seattle, then dropped parents back off at their hotel.
Sunday. Parents rode the water taxi over to West Seattle. Met up with them and ate brunch at Salty's. Rode the water taxi back downtown, stopped at the pirate store, dropped some things off at the hotel, then walked up to Pike Place. It was very crowded so didn't last long. Stopped at the Blarney Stone for awhile. Rode the Monorail to the Seattle Center, went to the top of the Space Needle, walked through the Seattle Center because there was a Bastille Day celebration going on, ate a Merguez sausage sandwich. Walked to T.S. McHughs in Queen Anne, stayed there for awhile. Met up with Jer at McMenamin's Queen Anne location. Ate and drank way too much. Hobbled/wobbled back to the car.
Monday. I rode the water taxi downtown and met my parents. We all went to the ferry terminal and bought tickets for Bainbridge Island. Took the ferry to BI, ate breakfast at Doc's Marina Grill -- very nice. Window shopped for a long time. Also bought fudge and truffles and fancy stationery. Rode ferry back downtown, stopped at Red Robin to wait for the water taxi, and split up. I am now at home, and my parents will be meeting up with us later for dinner at Pegasus Pizza. Whee.
I have a gazillion photos to share with you. I will probably only share about 5, but be warned matey, they be coming.
