alki beach

We had heard how cool Alki Beach was but never made it out there until recently. A couple of weeks ago, I picked W up after work and we went exploring. We took a few pictures while we still had some light and then ate dinner at Salty's. It has such a gorgeous view of the Seattle skyline.






Our camera remote came in handy for these shots.

Salty's is really good and it was fun to eat by the water. The atmosphere was perfect. I had Lavendar Honey Caramelized Wild Salmon Salad, which had Strawberry Vinaigrette, fresh local berries, chevre cheese, and honey cornbread croutons. It was delicious (and yes, that is a real flower on top of my salmon). W had Halibut with a garlic mashed potato crust around it.


Then we took some night shots. It was mostly W taking the shots and me shivering beside him. He got some good ones. Here are two of my favorites.








I think this picture of the Space Needle looks cool in black and white too.




















































Ron and Britney (W's sister) came to visit last weekend so we took them there as well. They also enjoy taking pictures, so we set up our tripods and snapped away.




Alright, I know what you're thinking. Enough with the cheesy kissing pictures.

In conclusion, we LOVE Seattle. I think Arizona will always feel like home in a way to us, but strangely it does here as well. We're happy and feel grateful to be here.

Yay, I'm so glad you tried Salty's and that you liked it. Doesn't eating there with the great view just make you happy? Looks like a super fun weekend.
