Pike Place Holiday Magic

every year pike place market decorates the market for the holiday season. we decided to hop the bus downtown for the afternoon/evening to enjoy the holiday festivities.

brooke's favorite seat of the accordion bus: sitting on the back half with
feet propped up on the front half of the bus at the hinge point. notice the
new shoes! simple - old school sneaker creepers! he's very proud of them.


our favorite seattle coffee: caffe ladro
100% organic/fair trade

the original. crazy to think we have the first starbucks
in the world! they've kept it pretty close to orignal.
don't be fooled...it all tastes the same.

put your nose closer to the screen...
you'll be able to smell them!

pike place market has to be the most 'colorful' place

santa cruises in style...only an international is good enough
for old saint nick!

for your desktop!
take a picture of yourself with this as a desktop background;
we'll post it and send you something sweet from washington!

my beautiful wife!

waiting for the holiday magic!

only at pike place would you see lit up christmas vegetables!

strands of lights with banners of the producers.

rein-pigs! rachael is on the right with a red nose.

andrea wanted my picture. she was standing about thirty feet
away ...'out of sight.' after i sat on the bench this shady dude,
who looked like santana, sauntered over and asked if i would like to
buy some weed. i politely declined and waited for him to move
out of frame; although he didn't move far. maybe he didn't think i
was serious. forget about having your pant leg rolled up, i guess
the universal sign for wanting to buy illegal drugs is to sit on
a bench by yourself, with your right leg crossed over your left
knee and having your left arm out-stretched. sorry dude...
although i have the correct posture, i still don't want to buy drugs.

take 2.
