Jen was looking at flights to Mexico for her mom. Her and Shauna decided to get married in September. So there was a lot to do for them now until then. She showed me her chickens, ducks and new bunny. The pond was done and looking nice and they arranged their back yard differently.
We decided to leave earlier than intended. She had printed out some coupons from several restaurants in Seattle and Phnom Penh Noodle House off of King Street in China Town. I was kinda excited to try Pho for the first time. We followed her Nuvi to the place and then we had to be creative and found a parking spot just around the corner. A man walked by and talked to us about our sports teams and then walked away shortly after.
We went into the restaurant and they immediately served us. I ordered the chicken noodle, which was rice noodles, chicken, green onions and garlic. It was delicious. She ordered pad thai chicken. We both got drinks as well. It came right away we were surprised on how fast our food came after we ordered it. We visited as we ate our food.
I tried eating it with chop sticks...I lost. Haha.
We paid for our food and then we wandered around looking at the shops for a bit. Then we took some pictures around some of the architecture in China Town.
We went inside an oriental trading store and scoped out their merchandise. There were tons of statues, budahs, coins and I found some nunchuks to play with.
We walked around the corner to a convenience store and we each grabbed a couple of Pepsi's for the drive to the Key Arena. I had a few bucks so I paid for them. We walked to the car and headed to Denny Way.
Along the way, I debated turning the GPS on, Shauna thought we could get there without it. I was like, sure...I am up for an adventure through downtown. She said, doesn't 3rd Street take us all the way down to Denny Way? Uh, maybe? We take it and all we saw were buses and transit vehicles. The center lane had a couple of bike cops pedeling their way down the street. The signs on the road were not very clear and we were wondering why there were no cars around. We pull up beside the cops and ask if the road we were on took us to Denny Way. They said we were on the wrong street and that it was a transit only street at this particular time. He told us to turn right down the next road and take 4th all the way to Denny Way. Hahaha! At least we weren't going down a one way road the wrong way.
We made our way to Denny Way and once Shauna was there she felt more comfortable navigating to the parking garage. We found a parking spot down on the bottom level near the exit. She was excited. I told her about the two pieces of the Berlin Wall in Seattle. Last Saturday I saw the first piece and I heard the second piece was in the Seattle Center near the food court. It took us a while to find it because it blended in so well.
We walked over to the Key Arena because the doors were going to open in a few minutes. We stood in line to get our picture taken with the Pemco Bear and to shoot some freethrows for a free shirt. I have one and Shauna has several of them so we brought one home for my mom. We stood in line, grabbed a program and went inside.
We both did the Bing Challege, she won a Bing beanie and I got a Bing hat. Shauna decided to renew her season tickets so they wouldn't lose their seats. We walked down to our seats and that's where we remained until the game was over.
The Storm beat LA by 20 points. There were many great shots and awesome passes. On the way out and to the car I got a shot of the Space Needle with the full moon by it.
We got to Shauna's house around 10:30 and to my house by 11. It was a long day.
Next Adventure: Fox Island
