After our fabulous vacation in Pensacola, we flew across the country to Seattle where Colin's brother Alaric is living. I had never been to Seattle so I was excited to spend time with Alaric and explore a new city. I know that Seattle is known for being rainy and cloudy, but I was still not exactly a happy camper when on our first day we got stuck in the rain multiple times. Especially after laying on a beach for a week, I didn't really like Seattle on my first day. But don't worry folks, I got over my bad mood and we actually had great weather the rest of the time we were there! The people of Seattle actually told us it was their secret....they want everyone to think Seattle is rainy and awful so that not everyone moves there :)
We took a long, leisurely walk around Green Lake. Colin kept saying we needed to find a store so that he could buy a sweatshirt. It was July people, we had figured jackets and sweatshirts could be left at home. As we were walking around the lake, New Balance had a tent set up. They were asking people to try out their new shoes, give feedback and be photographed. Afterward, there were an array of New Balance products you could take! So I took a pink duffel bag and Colin was able to grab the last New Balance jacket. Perfect! That night Alaric and his girlfriend Esther took us out to a Korean restaurant. It was our first time being in a Korean restaurant in America since coming home. We were very excited about sitting on the floor, telling Alaric & Esther what to eat, and the compliments from the waitress about our Korean speaking skills. Alaric & Esther both unfortunately had to work a lot, but Colin and I toured Seattle and had a great time.

| This was an awesome way to spend 2 hours during an afternoon. Bought a bottle of wine then went out to sea! Being on the water was lovely and the views of the city were beautiful. |
 |
| The famous Pike Place Market! It was super crowded, but we let out some energy by playing in an arcade for a while. |
 |
| A funny store I sadly cannot remember the name of now. Also the ONLY picture I somehow have of Alaric. |
