wednesday we drove around seattle a little bit - up to kerry park, through fremont to see the rocket, statue of lenin, visited the troll, then down to pike market and beechers, and dinner at pike brewery. we dropped them off at a hotel near the airport around dinnertime - they insisted because they had a super early flight out in the morning.
it was such a great time!
