Ricki's Wedding in Seattle

A month ago Jake and I flew to Seattle for Ricki and Lindy's wedding. Seattle is a very beautiful place! The weather was perfect, about 75 which was a big change from the 100s we'd been having in Boise and Utah. The day we arrived Jake and I rented a Mustang, which really isn't as cool of a car as we thought. We had a little trouble finding downtown Seattle, Jake took a wrong turn and got us stuck in traffic for an hour. To say the least I was a little unhappy =) We finnally arrived at our destination and did some shopping. We went to Pike Market and ate breakfast at a quaint little cafe located just above the market place. We had biscuits and gravy, delicious! The stores were huge! Macy's was 7 floors high which is like 4x the size we're used to. After our shopping spree we headed for Bellevue which is where the Rehersal dinner was that night. Finding our hotel was hard task b/c their road system was so much different then what we're used to. We found our hotel and were able to get cleaned up before the dinner. The next day was our 1 year anniversary and also Ricki and Lindy's wedding day! We celebrated our wedding by attended a sealing of some close friends, which is pretty much the best way I think to celebrate such a special occassion. From now on Jake and I want to do sealings every anniversary b/c there's no better way to spend that special day then remembering and rexperiencing the sacredness of it. We then took Will for some milk shakes and fries and got ready for the reception. The ring ceremony was beautiful and the food was great! Jake and I escaped for a while to take some pictures along the shore. After the reception Jake and I stayed at the Silver Cloud Hotel in downtown Seattle, it was a beautiful place to stay and perfect for our anniversary! A hotel which I hope to return to. The next day we were able to do a little shopping again but didn't buy anything b/c it was Sunday. We went to the Space Needle and took a few pictures there. What a beautiful view! The next day we headed back to Boise and flew home the following day. What a fun trip!
