Trip to Seattle
Our trip to Seattle was full of adventure. Clinton and I enjoyed some rare quality time together. Some of the highlights of our trip included:
- The Woodland Park Zoo!
- The Fremont Sunday Market!
- “The Empire of Medieval Pursuits” at Gasworks Park!
- Pike Place Market, of course
- Our awesome bed & breakfast on Capitol Hill!
- Bubble tea and Pho!
- Riding the Metro!
- The (new) Seattle Public Library!
We have a small collection of good pictures from our trip here. (Note to Autumn: you might enjoy the first eight pictures or so of the library. We took them with you in mind!) Here’s a picture of Clinton and Crystal’s amazing green dress:

Hi, Crystal - I just recently spent a week in Seattle too. Lived at the Pete Gross House (sponsored by Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) while tending to a friend who is in the UW Med Center after a bone marrow transplant. Intense week, very emotional, but I love Seattle and the PG House had the most fantastic rooftop garden! Every night when I got home, I made myself a cocktail and went up there to decompress and watch the sailboats on Lake Union. On the shuttle bus every day to the UW Med Center passed a few places I remember being at with you & Philip - Serafina, for one. Anyway–CHAD –mercy, the boy has done grown up! Did he get married? Think of you both always with love & affection, Vana.

LOVE the green dress, and it looks as if it were made for you! The blue hat is amazing too… my new goal is to invent a green-dress-worthy occasion here in NC… that dress deserves an East Coast debut if you haven’t already broken it out here
