Seattle Day 1: Birthday and Baseball Fun!

We left Denver last Friday evening after work and flew to Seattle, where Jason's parents picked us up at the airport and met us with a Starbucks' mocha! I knew it was a sign that it was going to be a good trip when we saw two cute pugs in the airport! That evening, we chatted for a bit and then went to bed. We were tired!

Saturday morning, Jason and I headed to the casino with his dad for a yummy breakfast. Then it was party time! Jason's niece Jillian had her 5th birthday party while we were in Seattle, and it was so fun! We don't get to spend a lot of time with our nieces and nephew, so it was really fun to be there for that. It was a unicorn-themed party, complete with a treasure hunt and pinata!

Looks like I was enjoying the party!

Tracy (Jason's sister) and her family have three little foster kitties--they are so cute!

We even learned how to play a Wii for the first time! We had a fun time at their house! Then Friday evening, we rode the bus to downtown Seattle for a Mariners' game.

Inside the stadium. Can you see the Space Needle in the background? I really love this stadium because you can see the water and some of the Seattle landmarks.

What you can't see in this picture is that we were freezing! I didn't realize how chilly it would be in Seattle and didn't pack many warm clothes. Thankfully, the last 2 days we were there were pretty warm. But we were cold this night! We ended up leaving at the start of the seventh inning, when we were down 7-2. No one else scored after that, so it was a good time to leave.

The highlight of the game for me--garlic fries! What more could you want that greasy, deep-fried potatoes covered in salty garlic? YUM!
