Adam and I both worked full days on our anniversary/departure
day. I picked him a bit after 4:30, and we grabbed a romantic dinner at
Which Wich (split a large sandwich). Nothing but the best for my hubby! Then we
took a cab over to the airport. Our flight didn’t leave until 7:30, but we got
there around 5:30. I’m paranoid, so I always like to allow plenty of time.
Security took a while to go through, so we didn’t have too much time before
boarding.
Our flight was smooth and uneventful. We had a large newer
airplane that had comfy seats and video screens in the headrests. Instead of
reading my book, I took advantage of them and watched a movie. Adam did too.
A few photos from the air-
Snow on the mountains,
and the Puget Sound.
From our gate to the Light rail was a long walk. We bought
our Orca cards for $5 and loaded them with $10. It was just enough for the
light rail and bus rides we took.
We arrived in Seattle too late to check anything out. We
took the light rail from SeaTac to Westlake Center which took about half an
hour. Our hotel was on the other side of the block, which was really nice.
Checking-in made me nervous as we could overhear the guy in front of us needing
to be sent to a different hotel because they were over booked. The front desk
attendant told me how “lucky” we were to not get bumped. All I could think was
I had called the week before to confirm and tell them they we would be getting
in late. The lady had reassured me that we were guaranteed for late check-in,
so I would have been extra pissed if I had to go across town to a different
hotel when all I wanted was to go up and go to sleep! Since it was 10:30 in
Seattle, it was 12:30 am back home.
Our room was small but quaint and suited us well for the
four nights we were there. And the bed was super comfy! I can't sleep without a pillow top.
The location was perfect as we were just a few
blocks from Pike Place Market, on the other side of the block from the light
rail and monorail, and on multiple bus routes to the ballpark.
Spending our anniversary working and then flying wasn’t the
most glamorous, but we celebrated our anniversary all weekend so it was fine.
