"Getting Out More"

A couple of weeks ago Court and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary by going to Seattle to a Packers/Seahawks game. We got really good airline tickets and really good seats at a pretty good price to the game. We left the girls with my mom and just went for the weekend. It was hard to leave them, but we had so much fun. It was really nice to get away with just the two of us. I love it in Seattle, I've been before when I was younger but Court had never been there, so it was some what new to the both of us.

My sister and brother in law came up from Portland to hang out with us for the first night. We ended up going on a fairy ride to a little island for dinner. Which was really cool, we left seeing the sunset and came back to the city lights (highly recommend it). This local girl had told us there was a casino on the island with a really good 2 for 1 buffet and restaurant and if you stayed there for at least 3 hrs than they validate your fairy ride, so we thought we would try it out. Well to make a long story short there wasn't a 2 for 1 deal that was on Tuesdays, and you have to have 3 hrs of active play time or 50 points and your "players card." So after hanging out for 3 hrs and playing a few games we ended up with 7 min of play time a piece and Court was the high roller with 3 points. I on the other hand had a whopping .2 points (note to self don't ever take me to Vegas). It was a lot of fun and we walked away with double Courts money and a lot of good memories.

The next day was the game but first we went to the Experience Music Project Museum. I didn't think Court would ever leave. It was really cool. It was mostly focused on Jimi Hendrix, but they had a lot of displays of other bands who got their start in Seattle. They had a really cool section on the whole grunge era. I wish I had more pictures but they wouldn't let you take pictures of anything behind glass.

After that we headed over to the game. It was the loudest stadium that I have ever been to. We did find out though that Seahawks fans are not so loyal to their team. They were going crazy when they were winning and towards the end when the Packers were winning they got up and left. There was still a whole quarter left and I think they were only down by a touchdown. I was a lot of fun though, a much needed vacation for the both of us. I have some more pictures but for some reason my computer will not let me download them. I will have to post them later.
