Yay, mom was in town!! She had come in earlier that morning and we needed to find something to do. I had worked my last shift a few days before, so I was free to hang out the entire week. First on the agenda? Kerry Park. This is a teeny tiny park located almost to the top of a big hill looking down on downtown Seattle. I had wanted to come here since the first week we were in Washington and I was doing research on the best places to take pictures.
From Kerry Park looking to downtown Seattle with no zoom. There was an entire hill of houses behind us and this is what they get to see from their bedroom windows. Lucky.
Just the Space Needle.
Now you can see the 'park' below. See how tiny?
I was so sad that this didn't turn out better because this is the picture that I wanted. Space Needle, downtown Seattle and Mt Rainier in the background. I just love that this is the picture that is plastered on all of the posters, all the postcards... and I got one of my own. My mom got way better ones, but I'll deal with what my starter camera can handle.
Me and the madre. Thanks for coming out Mom! There were a few difficult times, but a lot of good memories. Love you.
I can never tell which one I want to put on there so I end up putting 'em all!
Then... we went to Pike's Market for while and came back for some night time photos.
Aaagh... again wish I had my mom's camera!
That red splotch over to the right of the frame is the Key Arena where Shawna and I went to the Mumford and Son's concert. It looks small, but don't be fooled.
That blue streak to the right again (behind the arches) is Safeco Field. I was pretty bummed we never got a chance to check out a baseball game. I don't follow baseball (or any sports for that matter) but I want to be able to at least say I've tried it.Who knows, I just might find a new hobby!
One last shot before we took off for the night. It had been a loooong day for the both of us.
