The girls are in Seattle!

Well, we had a great flight into Seattle. We laughed so hard on the plane, we were looking at the Sky Mall Magazine and if you have not ever looked at one of those it has some pretty funny stuff in it. Then picture your spouse using that product and it it even more funny! Here is a for instance. There was a picture of a man using a "head posture device", this is what it looks like. There is a mesh contraption underneath his chin with straps lifting up his jaw line tied to the back of the bedroom door, then imagine that person was Tex. OMG, I almost bought it just for the laugh. So, needless to say we were the giggly girls that annoy you on the plane, thank God it was a noon flight.

Once we arrived we headed off to find the rental car. I put the address in from the airport to the hotel. If you have never ridden with my mom, she is the worst back seat driver in the world. Here I am with GPS on my phone giving Patti directions and mom just pipes right up! Patti turns around to mom just like she was a three year old and says, "mom, you have to stop right now, Lynnette will give me the directions". It was so damn funny!

Once we got down by the hotel we had actually passed it and decided to stop and grab something to eat.

We stopped to eat at The Crab Pot on the miners landing on Pier 57. This is the doc were the miners used to bring the gold from the Alaskan gold rush. It was such a cute Pier. The restaurant we ate at was so cute. Patti & Lisa got a large pot of shell fish that they just dump on the table on a sheet of butcher paper. It was in sane. Mom and I were not nearly as adventures, we had fish & chip.




Lisa got shell fish 101 from Patti, it was so cute!

Mom saw this cute antique market across the street from were we ate so we had to walk over and do a little shopping. It was there I found Tex's surprise. I can blog about it because he does not read the blog so here it is. there was a rack of vintage Playboy magazine in front of the market. I actually found him the September 1985 addition with Madonna on the cover, still in the bag. He will be so excited, he loves Madonna! Then here I am riffling through the Playboy rack.


We stayed at The Edgewater Hotel on Pier 67. We had a water and city view. This is the view from our room and the sunset we enjoyed after eating and shopping. We had a beautiful view of the city skyline from our room as well. Our room was so cute, it had a western motif. Log pole beds with a fireplace in the corner that is it's main source of heat. There were two chairs in front of the fireplace with a little bear ottoman, we named him Boo Boo. He was so cute, I loved him!

What fun! There's nothing like a girls weekend in Seattle. The crab pot is awesome. We've eaten there a few times too. I love Seattle but it's been a while since Rocky and I have been. Sounds like you gals had a blast.
