Seattle Weekend

Ben and I had a weekend get-away to Seattle.

The kids stayed home with our best friends.

First stop: Music Experience Project Musuem

Check out the exterior of the building. This part looked like a big slide.

Inside the Museum

Instrument sculpture. Amazing!


They had stations that taught you to play guitar, bass, drums, and piano improv. I learned to play "Wild Thing" on the bass. They also had a simulated concert and karyoke. They recorded the whole thing and then you could watch it afterward. My mom played the drums, my dad played the guitar, Ben was the lead singer and I played the piano. We rocked!

There was a Science Fiction Museum connected to the museum.

It was weird, except for the Star Wars displays.

We were sad that Luke missed this part.

We went to Pike's Market for Lunch. We sampled food around the market. Rasberries, chocolate covered nuts, chocolate pasta, corn on the cob, a salmon filled pastry, a marrionberry/cream pastry, a panini turkey sandwich, and apple/blueberry juice.

Went dancing that night. We learned tango at the workshop before the dance. We had fun even though we looked like beginners compared to the other dancers there. We danced the waltz, swing, cha-cha, tango, and salsa.

On the walk down the greenbelt, after the BYU game, we found these beautiful blackberries on the side of the walk way. We should have known it was to good to be true. Ben stepped closer to pick and he sunk up to his ankle in MUD. Well since he was already muddy he picked. There was a bunch up high that we HAD TO HAVE. So Ben lifted me you there. They were delious on cheesecake that night.

Ben will be posting about BYU game. It was totally an exciting game!
