Quite the day… We walked down to Pike Place Market, watched the street entertainment and bought my favorite Balsamic Vinegar… Aged for 12 years… and so, so, yummy…Only in Seattle, we also saw a clam walking down the sidewalk... As Ivar would say... Keep Clam... Okay, only the locals will know that saying! Then, wandering around and we found ourselves at the Ferry Dock and walked on as passengers and headed to Bainbridge Island… Just for the views and the fresh sea air… Saw a large blonde lab who thought he was a lap dog... you'll see in the picture down a ways... all in all, it was a very pleasant day… Oh, and Jillian got to add some gum to the gum wall… and with that, you would think our day was complete…. But not so! Out of the blue, Jillian met a friend of hers from high school, Gersen, who's in Med School in the PI, and is just home for break... what a hoot! We meandered finally back to the hotel... We had a hot night planned and all needed to get dolled up!
In the evening, we made our way to the DreamBuilders Ball… Lots of items up for auction…a wonderful Bollywood type theme… and good food and wine… Plus, they raised over 1.1 Million dollars for Virginia Mason Hospital. Good Stuff and we felt honored to be there.
Dang… family just informed me… we have to be up early tomorrow… what d’ya bet it will be the one day I sleep in… not that I’m complaining… I’m tickled they actually have some plans!
Fun,Fun adventure again! On one of my last trips to the Pike Place Market I also added to the gum wall art. Have a great time at the ball!
