An interesting sight at Pike Place Market in Seattle. Don’t forget to pass by just to see it….and SMELL IT! 🙂 And maybe add to the collect of chewed bubble gum on the walls!!
Go down through the Market Theater
Lots of Graffiti on the way
And here it is!!
James licking the gum wall!! haha!!
It looks better up close because you can see all the colors of gum 🙂 It’s like a work of art! 🙂
Even the floor has some specks of gum

I was so happy to visit my batch mate Ellen! Ellen is such an easy person to talk to and she is very open with me which is why I enjoy her so much!
In such a short time, I was able to catch up with her and am happy to know she is happily married with a beautiful son!
Ellen told me that she met her husband, Jeremy, through an online dating website!!! It’s amazing because Ellen and Jeremy are such a perfect match! I am so happy for my friend!
Beautiful family photo
Their blessing 🙂
Parker is such a cute baby!
Thank you Jeremy and Ellen for sharing your home with us!
Guest room which is on the ground floor of the house
A beautiful Filipino artwork
Going up to the 2nd floor which is their cozy living room, dining room and kitchen
Parker’s toys! 🙂
Parker is such a good boy, he even closed the safety door 🙂
I love watching the mother and son move around the house. Ellen preparing Parker’s milk as he is about to go to bed
Instructions for Parker stuck on the ref
Ellen used to work for Microsoft which explains the piggy magnet on the ref
The third floor is their bedroom
With a super beautiful view of Seattle!!!!
And I watched Ellen put Parker to sleep 🙂 while we were making kwento 🙂

I try my best to get in touch with all my batch mates and friends. And when I travel to where they live, I want to catch up with them and find out how they are in their new life 🙂
I was so happy I finally got to visit Ellen in Seattle! We have been planning this for a few years now and finally got to go to Seattle! And to show you how fast time flies, she is now married and has a son, Parker!
She took us to Cafe Lago for a quick dinner, Thank you Jeremy and Ellen!!
And here is the complete family!! with husband Jeremy!
Our table
Poor Parker, who was so hungry already
Ellen told me that she feeds Parker sometimes with this:-) I’ve been left behind with inventions in the Mommy category. Now they have these squeeze tetra packs that work so easy and well. You just attach a spoon and squeeze and feed directly to the child! 🙂
Parker enjoyed it and finished it so fast!!! 🙂
Eating bread 🙂 And a new invention – a bib that catches food 🙂
Such a happy baby 🙂
And here is the happy dad who helps out. Happily showing us his diaper dude
Which has a checklist for dad! 🙂
And our dinner from the wood fired oven pizza
YUMMY!!!
Ellen’s dinner, lasagna, which she did not really get to eat, so we took it home

Etta’s is one of the favorite restaurants of my brother, Noey, so we ate here!
It’s down by Pike Place Market
Love the hand blown glass lamps – which Seattle is known for
My brother’s favorite dish, Flash Fried Calamari
Josh’s Arugula
Steamed Dungeness Crab
My order, Beecher’s Grilled Cheese!!! OH MY GOSH!!! I am so glad my brother forced me to order this! THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE I have ever tasted!! I am telling you, I have tasted many of the BEST dishes in SEATTLE!!!!
Dungeness crabcake – I ordered every crabcake in every restaurant but nothing compared to Elliot’s crabcake

Oysters of course for Dad and Mom
Handcut french fries, another favorite dish of my brother. This was really good! 🙂
Good thing James’ fish and chips had fries too 🙂 We also ordered fish and chips hoping to find one as good as Steelhead Diner, but nothing compared to it
