Day 1, we left H’s house around 8AM and grabbed McDonald’s this is apparently how road trips start. We got to Seattle pretty quickly, the drive was pretty smooth. H was afraid he’d get arrested for his speeding ticket from 2014, which he had paid off just barely 2 days ago for the purpose of this trip. Of course, we had to walk around the pier and explored the Public Market:

Then we had lunch at Crab Pot:

It’s a unique experience, where you get to go HAM on crab, shrimp, shellfish… We had the one with oyster, for $40 each, that also came with salmon and corn. They require you to order a minimum of 2 servings, which was a bit too much for the 2 of us. The food comes out in a metal bowl, steaming hot, and the server pours it into a piece of paper over the table. As the meal progressed though, the food got cold and it wasn’t as appetizing. If there was a way to keep it hot, I probably could’ve finished it.

Also, their table cloth REEKED. I probably wouldn’t go back regularly, but I might go with others who have never been just for the experience.

Anyways, back to the daily grind. Everybody should be back in the office today.
