10/13/19

After a quick breakfast at our hotel, we headed out to our first stop of the day: Gas Works Park. The park has sweeping views of the Seattle skyline and is part of the National Register of Historical Places.

Nearby was Theo Chocolates. A cute chocolate store and factory. We were thinking of taking the factory tour but it required a reservation and we missed it so we tasted a variety of their chocolates and bought some to take home.

On a street near the chocolate store was a street fair, so we went to check it out. Nat got some cookie dough to snack on.

Lunch: Pizza at Serious Pie

After lunch, we had ice cream floats at Shug’s Soda Fountain

We walked around and shopped at tourist shops. Nat and Ty got some stickers.

In the afternoon, we booked a Segway tour. It was our first time trying this and Tyler was very excited. We were the only family booked for the afternoon tour so it was a private tour for us. The instructor teaches you how to safely ride the Segway and then we got to practice on a parking lot nearby.

Unfortunately, about 10 minutes into our tour, our tour guide pulled over and was sick. He had a seizure and we called 911. The fire department came and he eventually came back around, but it was pretty scary. We had to go back to the shop after this and they gave a us a refund. Tyler was so bummed not to continue the tour. Hopefully we can try again next time.

Walking around Pike Place Market

Walking around the waterfront

For dinner, we ate at a restaurant called The Pink Door. It’s a restaurant hidden in an alley way with no signs and just a pink door to enter. We waited about 2 hours for a table. The restaurant is really nice and had live entertainment.

Favorite part of the day:

Nat – walking around and shopping at the tourist shops

Me, David, and Tyler – Segway. Even though it was short, it was fun!

It was a fun and short weekend. We head home tomorrow morning!
