Seattle day trip

Last week we took a day trip to Seattle. Dad, Trinity, Jayden and I flew up there at 6:30 am. We caught the bus into the city and walked down to the Pier and Pike's Market.
I could have stayed there all day taking pictures in the Market. I love the lights and architecture and chaos.

We actually went up there to go to a Mariners-Red Sox game. We were surprised by how many Red Sox fans we saw all over the city. During the game the fans were competing to see who could cheer the loudest.

This is the view from the top level of Safeco. It was exciting going to a baseball game, never thought I'd say that.
What led up to this moment. Some guy says "Dude I dare you to run across the field". and this is what happens next. This "dude" avoided the first two tackle attempts and was finally taken down just before he made it to the other side. Then he was taken away in handcuffs. This was the most exciting moment of the game.
Jacoby Elsbury pretty much won it for the Red Sox. In this photo he was catching the ball in mid-field. Apparently the mid-fielder (Coco Puffs or something like that) couldn't run.

Boy do I love this kid.
And what anyone would get as a souvenir at a game, the other teams tee shirt.
After the game, we headed uptown to the Space Needle.
And Jay learned how to Monorail surf.
Our flight home was 11:30 pm. It was a very long, very fun day.
