weekend getaway....
Clea (my longtime running buddy) and her husband had a week planned in Seattle and Olympic Park. They asked if I'd like to join them. I had a free ticket on Southwest and the hotel was $74 so off I went for a weekend visit. I flew up early Saturday morning and got back to Austin really late Sunday night. It was good to escape the 100 degree days. While we were there, we saw the Mariners play the Yankees. The hotel was right next to Pike Place Market. The market is full of restaurants, produce stands, seafood stands and bakeries. It's also the site of the original Starbucks. Although my time in Seattle amounted to 26 hours, it was a fun trip.
