Lesley and I both took Friday off from work. She went with her parents to Cafe Besalu for breakfast, where they had quiche, croissants, and hot tea, which was quite good, I'm told. After my morning doctor's appointment, we all met up at the Olympic Sculpture Park. People were setting up for an event, but we were able to walk through the park and enjoy the waterfront view. Afterward, we went to Discovery Park and went for a brief but very enjoyable walk through the forest.
On our way to lunch, we stopped at a western viewpoint in Magnolia to enjoy the view of the sunlit sound and Olympic Mountains. We went to the Space Needle for lunch, which everyone enjoyed.
After lunch, we came back to our apartment where Lesley and her uncle played more games and her dad and I walked to the grocery store to get some peanuts before the baseball game.
We left early and took a bus through the ride free area to the game. We were one of the first 20,000 fans so we received the Ichiro jersey that was being handed out beforehand. Our seats were along the first baseline fairly close to the action and far too many Phillies fans. It was a pretty good game and it was exciting to see the Mariners win and the Philadelphia team lose.
We took the light rail back downtown and then I drove Lesley's family back to their hotel.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

Wow, they gave out 20,000 Ichiro jerseys? That's pretty cool. I'd take an Ichiro jersey because he's so famous in Japan, and when I lived there the kids talked about him all the time.
They were replica jerseys of course, but yeah, pretty cool. They're the Mariner's 2nd alternate jersey color of turquoise. He's a big deal here too of course, since he's been with Seattle since he was a rookie in MLB.
