Seattle Vacation – Pike’s Place Market
Today Michelle and I went down to the famous Pike’s Place Market. There I saw the second-most overrated tourist trap in my life: the flying fish market. What was first? When I was in high school we visited the east coast and I saw the historical Plymouth Rock. I feel like I need to warn everyone not to expect much from this if you haven’t seen this before. It is seriously one little shop and they don’t even throw fish that often. It is just a bunch of tourists standing around with cameras waiting for someone to actually order a fish. Awesome.
We then walked down to see the first Starbucks ever. What was funny about it is that it didn’t actually look like a Starbucks inside. Ironic. We bought a piece of art off of a street vendor of the storefront design. I’ve included my picture of it and a picture of our art so you can compare yourself and see how secretly artistic I am with my camera-work…
As we were walking around we saw a group of nude cyclists riding down the street together. You don’t see that in AZ everyday. Entertaining to say the least.
As I post this latest update, I am currently playing Mozart for my son (Michelle is holding headphones to her stomach). This is his first official music-listening experience. He isn’t ready for my favorite music yet, but I think he can handle a little Mozart.

nice. did you tell the naked cyclists hi for me? hey if you want, michelle can stand in front of my amp when your son is ready to ROCK!!
Hey, those cyclist aren’t nude. They have shoes on!!!
LOL!! I just love the “matter of factness” of these cyclists!! And adding to Danny’s comment, they’re wearing helmets, backpacks, and tan lines too! So I guess that would technically make them only semi-nude cyclists then? ; )
And I should have warned you guys about Pike’s Place Market, but I wouldn’t want to have ruined it for you! ; ) It’s just something that’s required when you’re a tourist in Seattle!
Love me some naked cyclists. I am willing to slap a 3F sticker on and promote the ministry via a nake cycle ride if necessary.
I agree on the fish market. It was overrated. Have you seen the library yet? That is a pretty cool building.
The original Starbucks. The place where zen was born for me.
Glad you are enjoying your trip – I am jealous. Seattle is my favorite city, and the place I would choose to live if I could.
Oooh Landon…you’re really raising the bar! I see you’re really vying to become the #1 3F clip of all time! It easily would dethrone Jeremy’s drop n roll sheep clip. Sorry, Jeremy, but you know there just would be no outdoing Skippy as a nude, 3F cyclist! lol
