Seattle

The famous Pike Street Market

After spending a year (okay, 11 months 1 day) in India, we decided a long vacation was well worth it.  We got to take short weekend trips here and there, but we really wanted a vacation without the threat of having to cancel or Jason having to keep his phone close by in case the refinery needed him.  What better way to cut yourself off from the world than a cruise?

After trying to find a Caribbean cruise to take with family, we opted for an Alaskan cruise.  We had never seen that part of the country before and we had heard so many good things about it.  Well, I think all Jason heard was that they are known for their craft beers.  Instead of flying to Seattle just for the cruise, we decided to extend the trip and tour Seattle as well.  This might not be as informative as the other posts about our vacations, but I'm trying to catch up here!

The famous Pike Place Fish Co.  You've probably seen it on travel shows - they throw fish.  I could have watched them all day, but Jason is a slave driver on these walking tours!  No rest for the wicked - or the pregnant.

The original Starbucks - notice the line.  It was reallllllly long.  We aren't a fan of paying lots of money for overpriced coffee so we skipped this.

Jason would rather spend his money on craft beers.

Everytime he got beer - I got chocolate.  Fair, right?

I promise we did more than walk around the market, drink beer and eat chocolate.. but I'll update on that later!
