Last weekend was our first full weekend in Seattle. We had just gotten our stuff delivered Friday afternoon and had a mess of over 50 boxes. We started unpacking and I worked on cleaning up the bathroom while Troy worked on the kitchen and living room. Everything fits pretty well in the bathroom. We have so many towels though that we had to use some of our chest of drawers space for extra towels.

We ordered pizza from a place called Mad Pizza which is a block away from our apartment. It was sort of expensive, but it tasted pretty good. We continued cleaning the rest of the night.

We woke up Saturday morning with a ton of empty boxes laying around that we had emptied the previous day. At one point, we couldn't even get out of our apartment because boxes were blocking the front door. The wardrobe boxes took up the most space, so thankfully we stored them in the back of the closet and got them out of the way. After cleaning a little bit, we walked around downtown looking for lunch. We ate at Kells Irish Restaurant and I had a sandwich and Troy had corned beef and cabbage. Mine had really really spicy Dijon mustard on it and I didn't like it at all, but Troy liked his corned beef. It was located in Pike Place market and we could see the water from where we sat though, which was pretty cool.

After that we walked around Pike Place market for a while and saw the flying fish and all the neat stores and fruit stands there. Then we walked to Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up a few things for the apartment. It started raining/sleeting/hailing while we were in the store, but it stopped by the time we were done shopping. We walked to a nearby grocery store to get milk and butter so we could make dinner that night, which turned out to be salmon, pasta roni, and green beans. We didn't want to go to Safeway to get a ton of groceries on a Saturday afternoon because we were afraid it would be really busy. We watched our Netflix movie, Fight Club, while eating dinner.

Sunday morning we went to First United Methodist church of Seattle which is located in downtown. Then we went back home, ate lunch, and continued putting stuff away. The place is much much better now, but it's still not organized completely. Sunday afternoon we took a break from packing and went to Washington Park, which is 3 miles away. We saw tons of tall green trees on our 45 minute walk. The air was really fresh and it was about 50 degrees outside.

So, we had a busy first weekend. We did a little exploring, but not as much as we will in the coming weekends.
