Saturday included my first time at a Washington Husky football game. Ever. It was delightfully cold ("This is what REAL football is like, Jason - so cold you can see your breath, but you can't feel your toes") and many people opted out of the game for that reason (pansies), but Jason and I enjoyed the 42-10 victory right there at the scene. It was really fun! The first shot is from the walk to our seats and from this view, you can see the entire field and get an idea of the shape of the stadium. It sits right on Lake Washington (behind the scoreboard in the picture), so many people will dock their large boats and take a dinghy to the game. I like this photo because the people in the front look like cardboard cutouts.
The next picture is of the north side of the venue. We sat way up in the far right part of the stands. And we STILL had a great view!
Here you can see a close up of the view from the stands. Beautiful, right?

On Sunday afternoon, Jason and I had an afternoon holiday tea service at the Fairmont Hotel with his family for a little birthday celebration. Afterward, we took our own walking tour of the downtown public library, which just went through a massive $165 million renovation in 2004. It's architecture is gorgeous and it's really modern. Amazing! Then, we went to Purple Cafe and Wine Bar for some appetizers and wine before attending the evening show of "White Christmas" at the 5th Avenue Theater in downtown Seattle. The live performance was great and it's also my favorite Christmas movie! Seeing the show again reminded me of the first time I saw it in 2006 during Thanksgiving weekend. I was by myself and sitting much farther away and after the show, it was snowing outside! So magical. Here are some pictures of holiday tea:
Yummy, yummy scones, cookies, finger sandwiches, pastries, and chocolates.
Great weekend!
