Lyle is now officially 28! The poor guy has had to put up with a lot of joking from me about his old age. But true to his amazingness, he just laughed and joked along with me.
His birthday was on the 19th and I had the whole weekend off. We spent most of the day at the tulip festival. Despite the rain and mud, we had a good time. Then we stopped by PinkaBella cupcakes to get his birthday cupcakes and went to a new Gyro place for dinner.
You may have seen these pictures on Facebook already, but I love them, so here they are again!
They demonstrate the Native American traditional method for cooking Salmon and we were treated to a full meal, including the Salmon (yum!). There was also a show that explained some of the Native American History of the area.
On the ride back home, we were treated to the great Seattle Skyline at night. My favorite part about living in this area!

The next day we headed down to Seattle to visit Pike Place. We wanted to get some fruit and fish. Lyle and I love Pike Place and we visit whenever we get a chance. Sorry there aren't any pictures, we headed down there in the afternoon and it was nearly impossible to get a picture of anything exciting.
After wandering around, we headed down to pier 55 for our Tillicum Village cruze. The boat took us on a 45 minute ride to Blake Island.
We were greeted with a mug of freshly steamed clams in nectar.... and we were allowed (even invited) to toss the shells on the ground and smash them.... You can see all of the shell pieces on the ground.

Blake Island is protected land and the only resident is the ranger. These deer were just roaming freely.

(Sorry this picture isn't amazing! It's so hard to get a good picture on a rocking boat!)
FYI - This tour is something you can upgrade a City Pass to, for those of you who want to come visit us. :)
