For Christmas, I bought Phil a "Weekend in Seattle." -2days, 2 nights, a Seattle Sounders game, and a date night dinner! Phil chose a weekend in May when the weather would be better and we headed over. Grandma Anderson watched the kids so it could be an adults only weekend. Thanks Grandma! Its such a pretty drive and we got their mid afternoon. First thing on our list? A NAP! Yep, we took a nice nap with no children bothering us! hehe. For dinner, Phil wanted real seafood so we headed to a local favorite, The Crab Pot. There was a tank of live crab behind our table and they kept staring at Phil! We ate their brother, so they were probably plotting revenge. hehe. This was one of those places where you can order a dinner for 2 and its a huge bucket of shrimp, clams, mussels, crab, biscuits, sausages, and corn. So good! Then we headed out to a movie and saw Iron Man 3. Was good, especially for a #3. :)
Saturday was Phil's game. He suited up in his Seattle sounders shirt and we battled the parking for 45 minutes! SO many people and fans. We parked several blocks away and still had to pay $15! Only downtown Seattle. We got in and found our seats. Man, it was crazy! The amount of blue and green was amazing! The Sounders have a huge fan base and they even had their own band. They also had fire that came out the goal posts when a goal was made. The stadium is actually the Seattle Seahawks football team. Was pretty cool! The game was really fun and the Sounders won! Phil enjoyed every minute and that's all that mattered. After the game we went to the Cheesecake Factory and had a delicious dinner and headed back to the hotel to watch movies and veg out with no interruptions. Was fantastic! :) We took our cheesecake back with us and ate in in bed! Thats just our style. hehe.
We had a great trip! We hope to get back in the Fall for a football game with the kids!
