Seattle

We quickly jumped on a chance for another weekend trip when Nico's cousin, Phillip, and his girlfriend, Johanna, planned a trip to our friendly neighbors to the north. The plan was to fly into Seattle and then take the ferry North through the Puget Sound to Victoria in Vancouver Island. Since it was summer time and we were trying to increase our camping IQ for an upcoming trek, we packed only our backpacks for the 3 day trip.

Upon arrival in Seattle, we hopped on the Link to our hotel in the Belltown neighborhood. Seattle is always great to visit because the fun neighborhoods remind us of Denver and we love being surrounded by water. We strolled over to the Pike Place market area for some delicious mules with homemade ginger beer. Afterwards we met Nico's cousin and girlfriend at Elliot's, remembering the good salmon from a previous visit. It wasn't quite as good this time around, but we still enjoyed sitting on the pier for sunset.Read more
