Me on the ferry to Bainbridge Island - Seattle!
And Matt!
We found an awesome bookstore in Pioneer Square (the historic district of Seattle) - Elliot Bay Books (and Cafe). While we were there, we took the Underground Seattle tour - when the sewer backed up, they raised the city an entire story, so all the basements of the old quarter are original street level. It was pretty cheesy, but neat.
We stayed on Bainbridge Island with Matt's great aunt Alice and Joe. Here we are overlooking Puget Sound over drinks at Gretchen's house (their daughter - Matt's ... 2nd cousin? once removed?).
Matt's extended family - the McMickens (well, actually, since it's his grandmother's sisters, all their last names are different).
Matt loves this side of the family because great-grandpa McMicken had a yacht called the Lotus, which had its own cabin boy and set of silver.
