10th Anniversary

That's right!!!  Julie and I have been married for 10 whole years!!!  Best 10 years of my life (or at least I assume this, I don't remember the first 5 of my life very well, maybe they were better...).  We actually dated for 6 before we got married, so already 1/2 of our live's we have been together.

Anyway, we decided to spend the night out to celebrate.  Our actual anniversary was last Thursday, but we went out on Friday night.  We had dinner at our favorite special restaurant Palisade, located on the waterfront in a nice marina in Seattle.  It is a great restaurant, nice atmosphere, they pull water in from the sea and have ponds and a small stream running through the restaurant.  We were seated at the window though, which was really nice.  The food was great too!!!

After dinner we headed to a different area of the waterfront where we had booked a night at a hotel.  We had arranged for each kid to be with a friend at their house for the night.  The plan almost worked perfect, but Jonah's friends sister (another of Paige's friends...) came down with a fever.  Luckily the family Paige was staying with offered to take Jonah also.  That was so nice of them.  I am sure a grandparent would have taken Jonah if that didn't work out, but it was great that the kids got to stay with friends.  Anyway, after we checked in we decided to walk around the city a little and find a nice spot for dessert.  Well, this didn't work as good as we thought.  The majority of places were closed, other than clubs and a few nicer restaurants, and we ended up in the Hard Rock Cafe which was not the ideal place we had in mind.  But, the dessert was still good.  When we woke up the next morning, this was the view from our hotel window, nice huh? 

What a cute couple!!!  Maybe a little tired still, no coffee yet.

We headed up to Pike Place Market to get something to eat, and stopped first at the 1st Starbucks. 

After our coffee and some pastry's to eat we spent the next couple of hours walked around the market and downtown Seattle.  It was really nice, just to be the two of us!!!
