Weekend in Seattle

Ryan & Krystal
Steve and I spent this weekend in Seattle for the wedding of friend Ryan and his new bride Krystal. Ryan has been one of Steve's clients for a number of years now, and Ryan and a bunch of his friends (all of them Oregon alums) come to LA for the Pac-10 basketball tournament each year. It was the most beautiful weekend in Seattle! Temps were in the 70's, clear and perfect! We ate lunch on Friday at Athenian Inn, which is where they filmed a scene from Sleepless in Seattle, my all-time favorite movie. That night we attended the rehearsal dinner at Gas Works Park, which is the site of old gasification plant that once powered much of Seattle from 1907 to the mid 1950's. Saturday we walked around much of downtown and visited the Space Needle, but did not actually go up to the top. The line was pretty long thanks to the many, many Oklahoma Sooners fans which were in Seattle for their game against the Univ. of Washington. Later in the evening we attending Ryan and Krystal's wedding at the Hotel 1000. It was a beautiful ceremony, and had some fun personal touches to the ceremony. It was great having a breakfast buffet for dinner! Congrats Ryan and Krystal and thanks for a fantastic weekend!

I'm jealous! I have always wanted to go to Seattle. Did you guys get to have a weekend getaway without kids? Looks like you had a great time!
