Seattle!

So, we have made it through our first week in Seattle!  It has been a lot of fun.  The apartment we are staying in until we find a permanent place is in downtown Seattle.  It's pretty cool to be living right in the heart of a city. 

Here is the dining area of the apartment.

The cute little kitchen.

The view of the Space Needle from our dining area windows.  Pretty cool.

Our first weekend here was pretty laid back, since we had been packing and driving, we wanted to take it easy.  On Friday, Cody drove me to the Microsoft campus to look at where he would be working, and it reminded me of a college campus.  It was pretty cool.  Since we had the dog with us, we decided to take her for a walk on this little trail we found while driving around.  

  This picture was taken from Cody's phone, so it's not the best quality, but I still thought it was pretty cool.   Here is another picture from Cody's phone of the lake.  It was a cloudy day (surprise!) but still a really nice day.  

On Saturday it was sunny and beautiful, so we walked the dog down to Pike's Place.  There were so many people, Vega was kind of freaking out, in a good way.  I seriously think she thought they were all there to see her.

Vega looking over the bridge at the cars.  She thought it was pretty cool.

Sunday was a bit more rainy, so we hung out in the apartment and watched football.  Okay, I read some Harry Potter, and Cody watched football.  Then Cody went to his first day of work at Microsoft on Monday.  He said that the first day was just orientation, so he didn't do too much, but on Tuesday he got into his office, meet with his boss, and co-workers.  So far, he really is liking it.  He says that the drive isn't too bad, but today he took The Connector, which is a little bus that Microsoft provides to take people to work.  Since it is small, Cody had to reserve a seat, but they have Wi-Fi on the bus, so you can work if needed.  Overall, our week has been pretty good.  Our next goal is to find a place to move into.  We have some promising ones to go check out.  

Here are just some random silly pictures of Vega.  She loves looking out the window at the people walking on the street.

Silly Vega!

After a long weekend, here is Vega all curled up in the blankets, with a pillow so asleep, I had to work to wake her up.  You can barely see her she is so curled up in the blankets.

This was just a beautiful morning, so I had to take a picture.

We don't have too many plans for this weekend, but I am sure that we will have fun, we always do.  I will try and get more pictures of Cody and me for my next post.  :)
