Seattle Part 2, The Wedding

 The chapel where Ted and Katie got married was on the Seattle Univeristy campus. Katie is an alumni.  This is where Ted and Katie usually go to church, Katie sings in the choir.  The building was designed by Richard Hull, one of my favorite Pacific Northwest architects -good pick Ted!
 Ted and Katie surprised all their guests at the ceremony.  After they finished their vows Ted played the piano and Katie sang "I Believe in Love"



 Some new friends and some old friends. 






 The old gang...out for Breakfast on Ted's big day.
 No stopping here Isaac!
 The white building is Smith Tower - a way better deal for getting a look at the city then the Space Needle.
 Here is the view from the 35th floor of Smith Tower.

 The Space Needle is in the background between us.

 We rode the ferry to Bainbridge Island.  There is nothing to see out there but the view of the city from the ferry was great.

 The chapel before the wedding.
 This Chapel was designed by one of my favorite architects, it's beautiful.  (No cry room though, so I'm really glad we didn't have Zeke with us.)
 Ted and his bride, Katie.


 Showing off his new jewelry.
 Good looking people!

Seattle, Part 1

 Me and Anneleise (college roommate) visiting the Seattle Public Library designed by famous architect Rem Koolhaus. 
 The exterior walls are not perpendicular so inside you get really interesting spaces.
 I thought it was a really fun building.  Would have hated to actually have to draw it up though.




 Visited Pike Place Market

 Look at how carefree we are - no baby to push through the crowds in a stroller! Thank you again Cathy, Brianna, Marina, Yolanda, Leonard and everyone else who helped watch him while we are enjoying ourselves!








 He is following us!  We saw this moving sculpture in Frankfurt five years ago. 
You can take a girl out of Oregon but she still loves her trees.
