Pike Place Market

This past weekend we had a lovely time visiting with Tadpole and Ronnie.  We had hoped to go to the Fremont Solstice Parade but we were cursed with the poor weather ..and so decided to go to Pike Place Market instead.  I think that the rest of Western Washington decided the exact same thing because we were packed in there like sardines.  Luckily there was a little corner for us at the Athenian (my favorite place to hang out)

and we had a delicious breakfast and view all at once.  Even though my phone was almost out of juice I had enough to shoot a few wonderful pictures, how can you not when you are there?

Rachel was back.  There was actually a guy STRADDLING poor Rachel's face so instead of photographing him I took pictures of her hoof prints

and there was a million bikes there too...

and the balloon man.  How much more delicious could he be you ask?  I'll just say he is RIGHT IN FRONT of the mini-donut stand, so his aroma is delectable  (ewwwwwww) ...but at least it cancels out the weird bubblegum and dna smell wafting from gum wall right?

I don't know why, but I never noticed that there is a clock under the famous Pike Place sign...am I the only one thats never noticed this?

then...my phone died, and in my hurry to leave the house I also left my main camera.  So this friends is where we leave off ... just know that there were a million wonderous photo opportunities at the museum of glass, all of which I missed. ...
