The gang comes to Seattle

It was eerily quiet at home this weekend after everyone had left...kinda like the feeling you get after watching a concert and walking outside the theater. It was great to have everyone visit for several days here in Seattle. It was the works....standard fare that includes Pike Place Market, Space Needle, Ballard Locks, and the Underground Tour.....and much more with a ferry trip to Bainbridge Island, travles to Lake Quinault, Forks, and La Push (yes, we had some Twilighters in the group :) ). The food roulette included Brown Bag, Ray's Boathouse, Serious Pie, Shakey's Pizza, and the Crab Pot. Yummy!

Spring Training 2010

Our annual trek this year brings us back to our first hotel near Scottsdale. Living in this location has its perks....for one, we just walk to the ballpark for the games (woohoo! no parking hassle!).....plus, it makes it easier to walk around town. The Friday game was against Colorado.....Saturday against Arizona. The sun was cooking.....'till Sunday....our lone road trip to Surprise, AZ.....cancelled by a rain out......no biggie...we just went to downtown Phoenix and watched a movie (Alice in W).
