Seattle Day 2: Charlie's Wedding

We spent the morning hanging out at the hotel, watching TV, relaxing, playing some games, swimming at the pool, eating lunch and then getting ready for the wedding.




Ally all dressed up!


All of a sudden as we were driving to the wedding, Becky yells "the Tacoma Narrows bridge"? And made this exact face. I think it's the most excitement I had seen her in in weeks. Apparently it's a hugely famous bridge. When it was built in 1940 it was a engineering failure. It is a suspension bridge and it was nicknamed "galloping gertie" because it moved so much. The cables were incorrectly designed and the bridge collapsed 4 months after it opened. A new bridge was built in 1950 and its twin, in 2007. 




The 3 of us. We looked good!


The bride and groom!


Gwei and Charlie


The view from the porch is gorgeous! 


Gwei and her dog Pacey walked us down to the water.


Kim and Mark with Gwei, other Cambridge friends!


Ally at the beach. Charlie's childhood home has 250 feet of direct beach access. It's gorgeous.


Gwei told Ally if she looked under his rocks she could find tiny crabs! Ally found lots, but wouldn't pick them up. So Becky did.


Beachcomber Ally.



I love this picture!


The view was gorgeous as the sun set. 


Ally did great walking up the rock steps I her wedge heeled shoes. I was impressed.


Chrarlie and Karen with all of their kids and dogs.


Becky and me.

The mountains were out all day and this was the view for most of our drive back to the hotel


Mount Ranier. Oh how I miss Seattle.
