Seattle had spectacular weather on Memorial Day, so we spent a lot of it downtown. First we picked my parents up and had lunch at Nordstrom Cafe in Bellevue Square Mall. Then we parked near Pike Place Market and walked to Miner's Landing and around the pier with the Seattle Great Wheel before meeting Daniel, Adam, and Haley at the aquarium, where we all saw the octopus, the sea otters, the fur seals, lots of tidepool animals, fish, and birds, and -- lounging on a nearby pier -- a big wild sea lion.
From the aquarium, we walked to the market which was closing after the long weekend, and from there to Noa Thai, where we had eaten previously with a friend and our kids had eaten with Paul's brother Jon and his wife. Adam took us all out to dinner, then we took my parents back to their hotel and came home to feed the cats. We saw the end of the Mariners win over the Astros -- hoping for the same tomorrow, when we have tickets -- and now we're watching the rerun of the Memorial Day concert.
