Mariners and Waterfalls

Our trip to Seattle last weekend was a huge success.  We had a fantastic time!  It was a long drive (but beautiful through Oregon and Washington), but when we got there we went straight to Safeco Field to meet our friends for a Mariners game.  Neal and Michelle Bastian were nice enough to get us some tickets and show us around since they were in town.  The game was great.  The Mariners beat Tampa Bay 1-0.  The field was right on the water and was beautiful.  We forgot our camera, so the Bastians have all of the pictures of us at the game.  Afterwards, we went on a drive to a beautiful area of the city to see some views.
That was our view of the city from the hill.  It was beautiful.  And the houses on that hill were beautiful and probably worth millions of dollars.  Here is a statue on top of that hill too.
Since Brett always wants to be behind the camera, there are more pictures of me than of him.  Here I am with Michelle, Neal, and Neal's brother Daniel.
After that we went to Dick's and had some burgers.  Really cheap, and really yummy.  We spent the night with Neal's parents and watched the Jazz beat the Lakers.  (Too bad they couldn't do it again.)  The next morning we headed down to Snoqualmie Falls.  And it was gorgeous.
The city of Snoqualmie was gorgeous too, and we stopped there to have lunch.  Beautiful nature, beautiful houses, nice shopping.  It was just awesome!  I just realized how many times I used the word beautiful in this post.  I guess that's probably the best word to sum up Seattle!  I will probably use it again for the next couple of posts.
