Touring the city of Seattle.

Ashley and I woke up on monday morning of her visit feeling well rested. We decided that after our weekend of playing and gluttony we NEEDED to work out. In a bad way. So we headed straight to the gym for an hour workout. After working out and cleaning up, we headed to downtown Seattle. When Ash visited in 2008, she loved pike place so a trip back was warranted.

The flowers at Pike Place- always so beautiful this time of year.

And SCORE! A 99 cent donut.

We had UNBELIEVABLE weather that week. Looking down towards the stadiums from Pike.

And looking out across the sound towards the Olympic mountains from Pike. Gorgeous.

I took Ashley up to Ballard since she hadn't been there before... we first stopped at the golden garden park. Here's a shot of the sound and the Olympic mountains. Beautiful.

One more shot from our little stroll at golden gardens.

We then went to the lochs in Ballard which is always fun too.

And another picture of the lochs in Seattle.

After our adventures, we headed back to the eastside of the water to get ready to go to dinner. We had planned on going to sushi but the favorite place I love in Seattle for sushi (Wasabi Bistro) was closed for remodeling (WHAT?!) So we decided on another Seattle restaurant favorite, Wild Ginger. We met up with Justin and had a nice, relaxing dinner. It was an easy end to a day of exploring the city.
