.seattle, day 5...in which we leave.

Our final day in Seattle, we drove back into the city to get a few pics, a few souvenirs, and some crab.  Roy finally convinced me that I would regret not having the experience despite the cost.  First stop was of course the space needle. 
We didn't go up, but we got an obligatory picture of the famous landmark.  We walked around the downtown center and checked out the huge water fountain that people can play in.  It was nice to sit for a bit and just enjoy.  Charlie kept saying he wanted to go play in the water with the music (this kid has Latin hips), but whenever his dad tried to take him down fear would over take him and he would refuse to take another step closer.  Such a funny kid!





Finally, we made our way back to Pikes market where we bought 2 legs of Alaskan King Crab....yikes it was a pretty penny!  For our grand finale of the day we made a wonderful seafood dinner complete with cheese biscuits, fresh limeade, and of course crab.  It was AWESOME!  What a wonderful way to end a vacation, being with good friends enjoying good food!!!
