{UW and Crab Pot}

This day Mckay had appointments with UW admissions and a professor who's research is similar to what Mckay is working on at BYU. Since we are planning on applying here in the winter and the school is one of our favorites we really wanted to visit the school and just see what it was about. The campus is gorgeous and in such a beautiful location just minutes from downtown Seattle. There is so much diversity there, which Mckay was excited about. I think we would be really happy there, and they're doing some great research that Mckay is really interested in. We would be so lucky to go here, but it is competitive, so we'll just have to wait and see.



Library:



After our campus visit it was time to get our window fixed. you can imagine our relief! We learned from Safelite that people can get really desperate, and break into cars for things as small as a single candy bar. So we completely cleaned out our car-including bottles of water. better safe than sorry. we then felt prepared to head downtown for a delicious dinner on the pier at the wonderful Crab Pot.



Whilte waiting for our table we strolled the pier and browsed a tacky, yet so delightful souvenier shop.


Mckay loving him some crab bisque. soooooo good.


and this: our seafood feast plopped right onto the table.


We love crab, but who doesnt? but we decided to be adventurous and try Oysters, Mussels and clams too. not for us. very not for us. And i had to get up the nerve to rip the head off of this guy:

an experience i dont think i could handle on a daily basis, but such a fun dinner. definitely an experience. and after this meal, we had officially overdosed on seafood.

After dinner we took our stuffed bellies for a walk around Gasworks park, known to have the best view of the Seattle skyline, and boy did it live up to the hype.

  1. I love your long post! I have the same problem when it comes to choosing pictures to post from vacations. It is so pretty in Washington though! If you guys move up there, we will totally come and visit! :)
