After leaving the picnic, we headed to Madison Park, where Jason and Beth live with little Harper. It's right on the beach and it's a lovely neighborhood (one of the original founding Starbucks dudes lives across the street behind a very large fence).
After a brief visit, we piled in the car to head to dinner. First we stopped at Discovery Park where at the top of a tall tower there were spectacular views of the city.
On to our next meal... Jason has been a restaurant guy for as long as I've known him, as has Jerry, so we knew we were going to eat well in Seattle. Jason took us to his current place, Monsoon. The Vietnamese fusion food tasted as good as it looked.
Harper liked it too...
We capped off the night with a few cocktails and some very interesting conversation downtown at Campagne and Spur. The next morning, after coffee and showers, we picked up Jerry and headed to the Market for lunch. On the way, we tried to ship a bottle of wine home that we had bought in the Russian River valley. Did you know they won't ship alcohol for you at UPS, FedEx , or the USPS? Is it a Washington thing?? After intense discussion on how to get the bottle back to NY safely, we decided the safest option was just to drink it at lunch. 
Jerry and Jason are well connected in the service industry, and we were treated well everywhere we went. Matt's at the Market was no exception, and again, the food was phenomenal, as were the views.
Leo hated his duck confit.
We couldn't pass up this photo opp, I think it should be Leo's new business card:
After lunch, we strolled through the market...
Past the original Starbucks, which is actually a tourist attraction...
And ended the afternoon with a stroll through downtown, where we made a pit stop and discovered the best way to memorialize all our loved ones from now on.
More later, now we're off to (you could probably guess this) dinner.xoxox
