Seattle



We were in Seattle last weekend for the wedding of our good friend Michael to the lovely Megan. Jeremy and Michelle came as well and they brought Maddie, aka Mole Face. We shared a suite at a hotel near the church. It was so awesome to see everyone again - it has been a very long time. It's so nice to have these sort of friends, where time stands still until you meet up again. We spent some time at Pikes Place Market - tourist trap and super fun place to walk around and visit while looking at stuff.



This chick was actually selling real Ocarinas.. you know.. like the one Link uses in his search for Zelda ? She even had a song book with all the Zelda tunes.. so sweet.






Maddie was such a patient little girl and we all got to pass her around and enjoy her sweet smiles.



The obligatory self portrait shot.



The fish and fresh seafood in the market made me want to grab a bunch and go home and prepare a feast.









Stephen helping Maddie try some fresh jam.


The three musketeers, friends since high school.

This was our first Catholic wedding experience. It was nearly as long as I had been warned.






I took some pretty awful pictures at the wedding and none at the adorable reception - I really need to work on my photo skills. Nevertheless, it was beautiful.

I was amazed at the friendliness of the Seattle residents.. the bus driver let all 4 of us ride for free the first day because we didn't have exact change.. he told us to just put in whatever change we had.. here in NY they would have just shut the door in your face and zoomed away.

Sorry this is so short but I am not feeling great this morning so I am going to go take a nap.

Congrats Megan and Michael. Megan, we sure are excited to have you be a part of our gang.

xoxo
