Stop Needlin' Me!

We got up waaaaaaaaaaaaay too early this morning. Ugh. Our flights out of Sacramento were sketchy on the most direct routes home, so we got creative. We looked them up again and found out that we could get home via Seattle! As we were waiting for our flight, they had mechanical issues and we had to switch planes, which caused us to be delayed for an hour, which caused us to miss our connection. Fortunately for us, we had another option in four hours. Ugh. We went to get a bite to eat and an idea popped into my head...Jason had been wanting to take an extra day off but the flights out of Sacramento were worse Wednesday than they were today. What if they were good still out of Seattle? So we looked into it and found out that they were great for tomorrow...and just like that we found a super cheap hotel online (WITH an airport shuttle), called his boss to make sure the work load was easy enough for him to take off time, then listed ourselves on the flights for tomorrow and left the secure area for the wild expanse of Seattle! We hit all the big touristy spots as Jason and Brianna have never been here, except coming through the airport, and the last time Leigha and I were here was about eight years ago when she was about two. Pike Place Market, Space Needle, the original Starbucks, Pioneer Square, and the Waterfront, all conquered. We ended up finding a cool Cajun food restaurant for dinner that had live jazz and people started swing dancing, but I was too exhausted to fully enjoy it. We came back to the hotel, beyond ready for a good night's sleep.
