Day 2: Slow food.. literally.

Our second day in Seattle was a little slower paced than the first, but good times, all the same.  We didn't pack quite as much in as we did the first day, but we had some fun sight seeing and worth-the-wait food experiences.


Started the day at the oldest Seattle's Best at Pike's Place Market


Visited the Jimi Hendrix memorial


Notice the little kisses on his face


Lunch at Salumi- Mario Batali's family's sandwhich shop
Aaron had the Porchetta: the tribute to the pig.
Pork stuffed with pork sausage topped with onions and bell pepper.


I had the Omigosh most delicious everrr!!
Oregano Salami on olive oil bread.
Worth the 35 minute wait in line!!


The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame




Ninja Kong: holla!


EMP: Experience Music Project
(There's headphones that let you listen to music the guitars in this tower-o-guitars are actually playing!)


DJ Hubsta on the ones and twos.


This dried my hands in like, 7 seconds!!  amazing.


Red Mill Burger: BEST onion rings we've ever had!  EVER!
Aaron had the blue cheese n' bacon burger


I had the verde burger, topped with fire roasted Anaheim peppers
..worth the 40 minute wait in line, and 20 minute wait for the food to come out


Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream.  I had salted caramel, Aaron had balsamic strawberry.  Both amazingly delicious flavors.  Both flavors in the same mouthful = shoyu flavor ice cream.  No bueno.


We waited about 45 min, when the line ended at the door.
We arrived just before the line formed around the block... crazy.


Space needle by night.  (..and Aaron showing off we found sweet tea at 7-11!)

The elusive pink elephant car wash...
A well known Seattle landmark, but not easy to capture a picture of a spinning sign.

  1. Aarons sandwich looks good and your ice cream looks delish! It's one of my favorite flavors! At the Honolulu Chocolate Company they make a sea salt caramel truffle and it is my absolute favorite chocolate ever!

    Your pictures are getting me all nostalgic for the old sites.
