We of course had to visit the famous Pike Place Market. I hadnt been here since
I was a kid and it was just as loud and busy as I remembered it to be!

We enjoyed wandering the city at night taking pictures of the neat architecture that
blends old and uber modern
Took the "SubSeattle" bus tour and got a tour of Seattles grunge, rock, and blues musical roots
This include a stop at Kurt Cobains old house where he sadly took his own life. Ryan and I love Nirvana, so this was a really special part of the tour for both of us. In the park near his house a bench has been turned into a memorial piece for him. I could have spent HOURS reading all of the notes, and studying the little offerings left behind for his spirit. It was beautiful and touching.
I guess you kinda have to be an ex-grunge kid to appreciate these photos as they are largely based on song lyrics. "Gramma Take Me Home" reminded me of an old girlfriend teaching me how to head-bang in Grade 10...ahhhhhhhh memories of teenage angst!
Below is a picture of the sculpture that inspired Soundgardens "Black Hole Sun". I was so FREAKING excited to see this, it blew my mind. I lovvvvvvved this song as a teenager, hell I still do! Kinda neat how you can see the Space needle through it too....
We also visit the Experience Music Project, a museum dedicated to MUSIC! Heaven!
The Jimi Hendrix exhibit was by far my favorite. I wonder if he would like the fact that
I named one of my shop items after him??? LOL!
This last photo below is just a random Iphone photo dump collage from the weekend
Photos 1, 2, and 4 are Ryan and I being dorks in a vintage shop. The last two are some AWESOME onesies we got for the bug. That last one is hard to see but it is from the Science Fiction Museum and reads "I just boldy went" Yah, we are that dorky
