Seattle Love {REI and the Mariners}

Our first day in Seattle was pretty cold. like March cold, not June cold. and wet. Mckay loved the cooler temperatures so he was a happy man, its hard to hate the rain when it makes everything so pretty and green.
Since the REI mothership is in Seattle we just had to make a visit. The outside of the store was amazing, with trails, trees and a waterfall. a fun sight to see in downtown Seattle.

Mckay found himself the chaco flips he'dbeen lusting over for the last little while. and they were on sale! even better

We then made our way over to Safeco filled, sort of on the sketchy side of town but the field was amazing! and with a retractable roof so we could enjoy the game without the rain. good news!

We enjoyed a Mariners win while munching on fish and chips.

We headed back from the game only to find our lovely looking like this :( only imagine more jagged shards of glass where the window used to be.

Our car and another car in the lot had been broken in to. We had left our camera bag (empty) on the front seat and an ancient ipod on the center console. Not the smartest thing on our part, i suppose. I was upset to say the least, sad that someone would do that to another person, frustrated that we had to deal with this in an unfamiliar town. but that anger quickly turned to pity-we like to think the person was just looking for great fathers day gifts, and tremendous graditude that they only got away with an old ipod (though we were almost to the end of Count of Monte Cristo :( not good timing) and had somehow overlooked my wallet that was conveniently stashed in a compartment. The situation could have been so much worse. This new snag in our plans forced us to drive around looking like this:


yes thats the entire door wrapped in seran wrap. and judging from comments and stares, was an entertaining sight for passersby. We were hesitant to go anywhere else downtown in this state so we headed back to the hotel and spent the rest of the night warming up in the hot tub.
