Taking Family Sightseeing

As we do with anyone who visits us, we took my mom and sister out to Pike Place Market again. We've brought them here before but it's a place worth re-visiting ... over and over again. Never gets old.

It was rainy and cold. Our first stop was to Biscuit *itch. According to Yelp reviews and word of mouth we heard that this place is really good. I've heard of them and one of my sister's friends recommended her this place too. So we went. It's a very small restaurant. These type of restaurants are really challenging for me. Good thing we didn't have to wait for tables. Once we were done ordering two tables became available.
I ordered biscuit and gravy with two fried eggs and bacon crumbles. It was good. Another negative about this restaurant is that they don't serve decaf. WHAT?! total bummer ... so I had to get regular.

My sister liked it. We all agreed that this place was fine but for us it doesn't come close to Pine State Biscuit in Portland. Now that place is the real deal!!!

After we were done eating we walked down to the market. I'm fascinated by all this delicious looking seafood. I wouldn't mind  getting two handfuls of that shrimp and about three crabs for myself. Yum! but buying here at Pike's Place is expensive, way overpriced. Riley kept starring at the fish. He's always stared at the dead fish. Wondering what is going through his mind.

It was a bit surprising seeing this place empty because even when it rains there's usually a lot more people but it was very cold and rainy. I guess all the tourists were waiting until noon to come out because as we were making our way to the car it was starting to get busy.

After the market we went to Discovery Park. We hadn't brought my mom and sister here and I wanted to bring them because this is another favorite of ours. Riley still fascinated with his Tia Claudia.

The wind was blowing pretty good and boy was it COLD!!! We were freezing our butts off.

My mom is always collecting odd looking rocks.

Jacob looks cold. I at least know how to play it off, lol. Dang but I was dying. After we took the picture we sprinted to the car. Happy that my new car came with heated seats. Seriously, that's a feature that's a total must especially if you live someplace where it gets cold.

This boy and sticks. He wanted to bring this big stick in the car with him. I don't think so buddy.

To warm up we stopped at Starbucks on our way home. Such a cold rainy day. It's all part of the fun though. Not complaining. The cold sure makes one appreciate the heat and a cozy home that much more. Sure makes me grateful for the gift of a warm car and home.
My mom and sister were cold but did not complain. It was definitely the opposite of what they had back in San Diego. It was very warm there and freezing here. LOL!

Oh, and I got a tummy ache from the coffee I drank at Biscuit *itch. It must have been very strong, made me feel nauseous.
