Seattle Trip in Pictures Part 3

We walked all the way down to the end of Alaskan Way and then went up a block  and started heading back in toward the market.  It reminded me of when Corky and I went to Seattle at New Years 2012-2013 (check the archives for pictures from that trip!) and we stayed in a hotel out that direction.  We would walk to the market or the waterfront using Western Ave, Elliott Ave and Alaskan Way.  I feel like I was so much thinner on that trip, which saddens me, however I didn't have Mara back then which saddens me even more! 

Anyway, we paused at a fruit stand/shop thing in the market and bought a TON of fruit!  The weather was gorgeous and the fruit was so colorful... it was HEAVEN! It looked like candy!  Better than candy! 

We bought lychees, mango, apples, nectarines and pears!  They were sooooo good! 

We walked back uphill to the hotel one last time. We wanted to pop into H&M to buy my mom a shirt but they didn't open for 8 minutes more and Mara was starting to fuss so we just went on.  

Back at the hotel we put the finishing touches on our packing, Mara nursed, and then we played on the floor, the 3 of us, and took pictures.  If you're wondering why she has a bottle, it's because I wanted her to get nice and full before the car ride home so hopefully she would sleep. And here are the pictures:

Mara sure loves her grandma! 

One of my favorite pics

Grandmas are the very best snugglers! 

This beautiful (and rare) view of Mt. Rainier guided us out of Seattle.  

Mara fell asleep around Tukwila (15 min south of Seattle) after a major blowout (changed at a gas station) and slept ALL the way home!  After the blowout, my mom and I switched and I drove home.  My mom fell asleep around Federal Way (about 45 min south of Seattle) and slept all the way til Kelso (about 50-60 min north of Portland) LOL!  I entertained myself by listening to my Zumba music on shuffle and playing the alphabet game 7 times through by myself. 

It was truly a great trip. I can't wait to go back!
