Autumn in Seattle has been sunny and relatively warm, perfect for enjoying the city and its lovely scenery. So when Todd told me he was leaving work early on Monday, i said “we’re going on a field trip!!”  No brownbag lunch required.

I’ve wanted to go to the Olympic Sculpture Park with him, but our weekends have always been busy with other things.  And everytime I’ve been there, it’s just been me running through, so I’ve never taken the time to stop and enjoy the park.

He got home at 5:00 (after an hour on the bus) and we headed out for our field trip.

First stop: Uptown Espresso.  

Next stop: 

We spotted an open bench on the edge of Elliot Bay and sat and watched the sun set behind the Olympic Mountains as we discussed our days.

The park closed a 1/2 hour after sunset, so we’ll have to make another trip back to take time to look around at all the art.

After a couple more stops browsing furniture stores and trading in old video games, we walked back home for dinner, which ended up being ‘make your own meal’ night.  Beef & bean burritos for Todd, spaghetti for Katie, ice cream for all.
