Friday Favorites - A Mini-Break


I bought tickets at Christmas to see Michael McIntyre, a hilarious British comedian, in Seattle on March 26.

I picked Vic up at 2:00pm and we headed around the corner to the ferry terminal.

It was a beautiful day - the ferry was pretty crowded because it was Opening Day for the Seattle Mariners that evening

We were near the front of the ferry, and it's a great view

An hour later, the city skyline was before us

We had Marriott points from our London trip, so we checked into the Sheraton, right around the corner from the theatre

We had dinner reservations at Alder & Ash Bar & Grill, which could be accessed from inside the hotel

Pre-dinner cocktails and a little basketball

We started with the Sample Trio

Crushed Avocado, Smoked Salmon Dip, and Green Garbanzo Hummus

A selection of dippers

Mushroom Risotto for dinner for me

An Ahi Poke Bowl for Vic

Getting ready to head into the show

The next morning, we headed to Le Panier, our favorite French bakery, for breakfast - I snapped this quick shot of Mount Rainer with the stadiums in front (Lumen Field, home to the Seattle Seahawks, and T-Mobile Park, home of the Mariners)

Coffee and croissants

Snapped a quick photo at the stoplight of the Seattle Aquarium - this will probably be our next Seattle outing and perhaps we'll hop on the Seattle Great Wheel there in the background

Homeward bound, those are the Olympic Mountains in the distance

Such a fun mini-break!
