This weekend, our friend Cassie came to visit from Minneapolis. We had a great time and were really happy she was able to make it out. She's here from Saturday evening until Tuesday morning (tomorrow). Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite perfect and we didn't get any views of the mountains. However, the sun was out and it didn't rain, so I'd say it was a success. Saturday night we went to dinner at Arnie's, a restaurant on the Puget Sound where Katie used to work. It was a nice sunny evening and a perfect night for a meal on the patio.
On Sunday Katie, Ken, Nate, Cassie and I had blueberry pancakes at our house, then drove down to Lake Union (a lake just north of downtown Seattle) and rented some Kayaks. We were out on the lake for about 2 hours. It was pretty cloudy, but it was a perfect temperature and we got some great views of some houseboats (including the house from Sleepless In Seattle), seaplanes and some yachts.
After kayaking, we took a quick stop at Kerry Park, which is where THE view of Seattle can be seen.
We then headed for Pike Place Market, where we enjoyed the street market and got some food. Before we left we got some salmon and some other goodies and made our way back home. We grilled the salmon with all the fixins; grilling never gets old!
Today, Katie and Cassie went downtown again to do some shopping, and took a ferry out to Bainbridge Island. They had a great time and great weather, though again missed out on the mountains.
We all had a great time this weekend, and Cassie has now declared that this is an annual trip :)
