Seattle Day Two

Saturday morning we headed out to Woodland Park Zoo with Lisa.  Luckily our hometown zoo membership has reciprocity with this zoo allowing us 50% off admission.  It was chillier than we had anticipated, so we wrapped tiny guy up warm in a blanket and bought him a hat which though a little large (adult size), worked out great for him.
Woodland Park was really fun.

 Some of the highlights for us this time:  The Kunekune pig, which looks like it has a cat style fur coat, colors somewhat reminiscent of Ro Cat.  The freaky komodo dragon, which almost looks like a man in a lizard costume.  Frankie also loved the room where you can feed the birds with the popsicle sticks covered in bird food.

Next we all met up with Nick for lunch at Ivar’s.  Good fish ‘n chips and chowder.  We followed up with gelato and the nearby shops.  We then headed to Pike Place!  At Pike Place, we strolled around, had some mac ‘n cheese at Beecher’s, and took lots of photos.

Next up, we went to Alkai Beach to take in the skyline.  It was a nice night for photo ops and the days weddings seemed to agree.  Frankie even did some flying (see photo).

For dinner, we went to the Luna Park Café, always a favorite.  The milkshakes were good and as usual Frankie was flirting and made a friend with the table behind us.  We then headed back to Alkai Beech as sunset approached.  Again we got to see more wedding parking comedy.
