7 Years Strong!!!
We had the BEST anniversary! Greg's mom took the boys Thursday and we went and picked them up on Saturday! A full 48 hrs of kid free anniversary time! It was very much needed (especially for me)
Isaac and Gary got me an electric can opener, which I realize may seem like an odd anniversary gift but if you have ever used any of our can openers you will know how amazingly perfect this gift was! I LOVE IT!! We had ordered a Cutco block and a knife (we already had some because Greg used to sell Cutco) and it finally came!
Way back in March I had bought tickets to the Mariners/Red Sox game. I was able to keep it a secret clear up until about a week before our anniversary! At which point Greg used his excellent deductive reasoning skills and I couldn't keep it a secret any longer. It worked out for the better because once he knew what we were doing he was able to help plan out the rest of the day.
So we rode the link light rail up to Seattle. It was a ton of fun and nice to not have to worry about paying to park, traffic, gas.... and it's very cost efficient!
Not to mention the station in Tukwilla is awesome, filled with cool art
How Seattle looked on our ride up.
We went to the EMP (Experience Music Project)
This place is amazing!! You could easily spend all day here and still not fully experience everything!
They have this HUGE Tower of guitars and other musical instruments.
In the Jimi Hendrix exhibit. They have tables with Ipods in them so that you can sit and listen to music while you read different books they have on Mr. Hendrix.
Yes. We gave Ashley her first taste of Jimi!
HAD To get the saxophone!
They have this HUGE screen as you walk in that shows music videos and different things. This is the making of Avatar. on the right side it showed what the actors were doing in the studio, under that is the computer generated version, the big screen on the left is how it turned out in the movie. It was really cool to stand and watch.
7 1/2 yrs ago Greg took me to the space needle to "propose" the 2nd time....No he did not NEED to propose twice, I said yes the first time. He is just that awesome!
He proposed the first time at church and gave me my CTR ring, the 2nd time he took me to the space needle and gave me the official ring.
7 1/2 yrs later we're back (not that we've never been back since then....) and still happy! =)
The space needle
We stopped by the skate park to watch the mad skills goin on there
Notice how clear and blue the sky is now?!
YAY!!!
Because we didn't have kids to entertain, we were able to make it to the stadium early and get our free Ichiro t-shirt!!!
(note the belly barely fit..)
Some random pics through the game
Justin Smoak got hit by a ball that landed him on the DL with a fractured nose....Ouch!
I purchased the "anniversary package" that comes with a score board message, along with 2 hats, a small tote bag, a baseball (that says happy anniversary) and some gift cards!
Wait till the very end. I think it's at 27 secs.
The stadium as we left
we lost 6-4
So we rode the train back and when we got to our stop they told us we couldn't get off due to an incident that was happening. The police had closed the station. We had to get off at Sea-Tac (which is only about a mile away) and then ride the bus back. When we got back the bus driver had to drop us off a block away because the police had closed the road to the station as well.
Apparently there was a suspicious looking package under a car so the whole parking lot was shut down. Luckily when we went to find a place to park, the main parking lot was full so we had to park across the street! So we got out no problem.
Saturday we went and picked the boys up. They both fell asleep on the way home. So we put them in bed got everything put away. On our way to bed we noticed Gary had sort of slid out of bed....
It was a GREAT Anniversary weekend and it has been a GREAT 7 yrs!
Only Eternity left Baby!!!
