It all started with our first weekend in town celebrating 4th of July. We celebrated with an afternoon of games in the park and a BBQ to follow. We watched the Lake Union firework show from a friend's house overlooking the lake. We took our first roommate picture with Trixie just before the BBQ.
The following weekend we waited with crowds of others on Alki Beach to witness the Seafair Pirates storm the beach to kick-off the 60th annual summer festival. On the way home we came across an intersection with special significance to us.
San Luis Obispo's favorite band, Still Time traveled up the coast for a weekend festival and played an amazing show at the Seattle Center. Adam was having withdrawls from Nick, so it was a timely trip. After the show we took our first trip up the Space Needle (For free! Thanks Lindsey!) and Nick came along for the ride. Nick and Adam took advantage of the romantic setting.
Our Kickball Team got off to a slow start (forfeited game one), but bounced back with a win in game two. Regardless of the outcome, we'll always enjoy 15% off at Leny's Bar after the game.
Something we have really enjoyed about Seattle is their abundance of cupcake shops. We decided to test out our three main options (Trophy Cupcakes, Cupcake Royale, and Sugar Rush Bakery) and have a cupcake tasting. Adam and Trixie went around town and picked up a Triple Chocolate cupcake from each location and we made a six category scoring sheet. We're happy to announce that Trophy Cupcakes was the winner and don't worry, we'll do our best to take you there to taste the goodness when you come to visit. Also, the Blue Angels made an appearance in Seattle in early August and we had a roommate picnic on Lake Washington to watch their spectacular show overhead. It was awesome.
We're still in love with Seattle, especially during the summer when it's warm enough to enjoy a Sunday night BBQ at the beach.
Miss you all, can't wait 'till you visit. Lots of love.
Adam & Erin
