Seattle in Pictures, Part Two

Here are some pictures from day two in Seattle. We got up Sunday morning and went to have breakfast at the Space Needle. This may have been the highlight of the trip for me, even though I absolutely loved the Mariner's Game too.

Eden and me in front of the Space Needle


Breakfast at the top of the Space Needle

How about that view?!


Later that day after checking out of our hotel, we met back up with Ben and Sommer. We had to run out to the boat show once more for Charley to get some pictures since he'd forgotten the camera the day before (*GASP*), and then the four of us went to Olive Garden.

Open your eyes, Ben! The Neilsen boys are nearly incapable of taking a picture without blinking (John, their dad, is the worst). We've pretty much given up trying.


Before going to the airport, we decided to drive down to Alki. Kissy kissy! :) Poor Charley can barely reach me!

We had SUCH a wonderful time. I felt completely refreshed after getting back home. :) What a fun anniversary trip! I have the best husband ever!

That is a great view from up there! You and Charley are just so cute together, Jess. It always makes me happy to see a married couple that obviously enjoys being around each other. :)

It's great that there are pics of the both of you together. We have many a picture of one of us or the other-- rarely all of us!

Hey Marsha! Yah, I'm 'blessed' with a husband who's worst nightmare is to leave the camera behind when embarking on a 'family outing'. He's waaay more into picture taking than me.. (which can sometimes be annoying at the time, but a real blessing in hinds sight). :)

he's something else- that's for sure! lol

love jess

I can't wait till josh and I have some more reasons to take pictures. We got tired of just seeing only us all the time. Maybe we should hang with friends more or something? I really REALLY like the one of you and Charley sharing a kiss :D It definitely looks like God gave you two nice weather! I've thought very many times about what it would be like to be so pregnant that your hubby has a hard time reaching you!

Great shots!! Thanks for sharing your fun trip!!! The photos made me miss WA!! I grew up just south of Seattle. What a blessing to have such a great trip before Eden comes.

I've always wanted to go to Seattle! Thanks for the photos. I guess I'll have tolive vicariously through you and Charley! LOL!

My favorite line:
"Eden and me...."
Getting so close now!
