OCTOBER DATE IN SEATTLE

so, finally, James and I went on a date alone, without children! We ate at Ruby Tuesday's in Tacoma. We'd never eaten there and it was super yummy. Terrific salad bar. Then we headed into Seattle. I don't know how, but somehow my husband had never been to downtown Seattle! We lived over here for 10 years and I've taken the boys more than once. Somehow James avoided the scene. So.... that's where we went. WE had a fabulous time and we didn't talk about any of our children once all day. It was silly and giggly and fun. We went to Ye Ole Curiousity Shoppe, The Seattle Aquarium and Pike's Place Market. He bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers at the market then we ended the day with some chowder at Steamer's Cafe. I had the salmon chowder and James enjoyed the clam chowder with clam strips. He loves clams.

This octopus was soo cool!

Petrified man!

Anticipation about our day!
