Seahawks

This year for Christmas, I surprised hubs with tickets to the Seahawks vs. Rams, which is the best game of the season because depending on the results whether team is going to the NFL Playoffs in route to SUPER BOWL! I have never been to a Seahawk's game, but I have watch many games on TV. Hubs has been to many games over the years, and one time, box tickets.

On Sunday, January 2, 2011 we headed north on I-5. Stopping in Longview to drop our boys off with my mom and sister so they can sit for the day. We stopped and grab some breakfast for my hubs on the go. While waiting for his food, he went digging through our bags and found this. Another Christmas gift, that I wish I wouldn't have bought because it's so ugly.

Locked out of the car, here. Kinda creepy, reminds me of Jason from Friday the 13th. 

                              Back on I-5 headed north to Seattle. My hubs slept most of the way.

Just north of Fife we stopped at the rest stop, in full Seahawk gear. When we got back in the car, hubs insisted on wearing the mask again.  

Finally to Seattle,

The welcoming committee

First stop, where else other then the first Starbucks.

Then across the street to...

Hubs had never been to the Market before and I have once. We have never been to Seattle together so new adventure for us.  It was a lot of fun to just walk around us two and not have boys to push or chase after. Although we missed them the second they were out of our arms.

We were a little disappointed that the fishermen were already closed up for the year. Yet, we still had a wonderful time walking through the crowd, looking at many different craft booths, fresh fruits and veggies, not to mention the smell of seafood everywhere. I'm allergic to seafood so that was not to pleasant for me. But I did marvel at the way the had crab stacked, shrimp cocktails just waiting to be bought and ate by the crowd. I found these cute little name bracelets that I really wanted, but we kept walking with such a big line and then forgot to go back and get before we got to the stadium.

One thing that we couldn't walk away from was The Confectional. Don't know what that is? It's a wonderful little cheesecake store, that had so many choices we didn't know what to get until.....we saw the peanut butter and chocolate. Both agreeing we bought just one, (trying to stick to the diet) and shares a yummy yum cheese cake. No it wasn't a full pie size. Perfect size to share. Confectional offers cheese cakes, and cheese cake truffles. Looking forward to going back.

Once we got the Quest field it was amazing. So large, surrounded by old and new, large and small buildings. But the one thing that really stood out was the excitement, and love for the Seahawks. The Blue Thunder group played out side on the sidewalk. They were amazing to watch play, full of fun, dancing, doing tricks. The sun was setting on the bay once we walked up the four ramps to our seats.  The game was unbelievable, I can't believe I finally got to go and them winning is a bonus. Just wish I would have bought the pre-sale playoff tickets when I had the chance, Seahawks were home, and we took out last years Superbowl Champs. WHAT NOW?!
