felis_lupusM's Win! M's WIN! YAAAAAAY!!! :) (about freakin' time...)
The game last night was fantastic. There was no way they were going to lose; I didn't come 3000 miles to see that. Safeco is such a beautiful ballpark, and it was a perfect night. Was Josh's first MLB game; we got a home run, unassisted double play, and good clutch hitting in the bottom of the 9th to close it all out. 6-5 over Oakland. They are now, at this moment, losing spectacularly to Tampa Bay. sigh.
Yes, Max, we did make it to FX McRory's before the game. Excellent food, cool building, and I think I have competition for Twig's love... double-cream chocolate ice cream. Will kill me if I eat it, I think, but we went back so he could have seconds today. It's vacation, we can do that. :)
No Whidbey Island/Deception Pass today. We parked behind the Space Needle last night, and there is a new weird building, somewhat blobby and strange, next to it. Poked our heads in before we walked downtown, and saw there were many many wonderful things inside. The Science Fiction Museum (and the Experience Music Project, also cool, but didn't get to spend much time before they closed and kicked us out) is new since I was last in Seattle. Went back today, spent several hours with the aliens. Costumes, props (actual and replica), videos, books, paintings, scripts (City on the Edge of Forever, pre-edit...) you name it... Luke Skywalker's ACTUAL LIGHTSABER (and severed hand... model.). And Captain Kirk's Phaser(s). And the car from Blade Runner. And tons of other fun things. No photos allowed except in the entry area, but well worth the one: Gen and Gort
Going to be an early night tonight, am sleepy. Plans tomorrow include doing absolutely nothing. I think I've just about worn out my shoes. Having a small party for grandma's 75th birthday, but that's all. Will be good. Plane leaves here at noon (local time) on Saturday, so don't have to get up too much earlier than normal.
