Friday morning I flew to Seattle for Strawbs' wedding. My first time in Washington State!
Strawbs and (now) Mrs. Strawbs!
Pike Place Market I went with my Nielson cousins in a bus to Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. Strawbs has 10 siblings (one is on a mission right now) and they and their spouses and I all piled in the bus. It was a nice bus. We crossed the water and had a great time listening to Strawbs give us a tour as we went downtown.
kt, delighted to be on the bus:
Lizzy's husband:
At Pike Place, we all piled out of the bus (at Pike & Pine) and split up. About half of us ate cheese together at Beecher's; cheese and mac & cheese (made with penne), and grilled cheese. My aunt Mary bought No Woman cheese. "A nutty Jamaican cheese with cloves and brown sugar." Yum.
Then, Strawbs & soon-to-be-Mrs. Strawbs took me to the fruit market, where I bought dried strawberries (wow!) and a comice pear. We also sampled white truffle oil, pumpkin butter, and lavendar raspberry jam.
The fruit was too beautiful:
We then went back to Pike & Pine and got hot chocolate and ginger snap cookies (giant three dollar cookies). They were so soft and good, I kept thinking about them all weekend and have not stopped thinking about them since.

whoa, my husband is so much cuter than that picture depicts. he is unhappy with you. it's his own fault though.
true. On both points: he is better looking than that picture depicts and it is his own fault. =)
Wow, I know these kids, they slept on my floor! Congrats on the big day!
I am so jealous. I would have loved to be there with you all.
