Woke up a bit before Earle, made some coffee and wrote yesterday’s blog. Today was baseball and so there was no reason to rush around to get ready. Had the little donuts we bought at the market for breakfast, knowing that we would have lunch at the ballpark.
Showered, dressed, and off across the street about 11:45. It was very crowded street and sidewalk. That was more than likely because it was J.P. Crawford Bobble Head Day. We found where are seats were and then went on a quest for lunch. It is a strange park that only has tables and eating areas on the top concourse. So we headed up where we ate last night and scored a table as a family was leading. We then realized that all the escalators go UP before the game starts. Earle got nachos and I did a Mariner dog, that was quite tasty.
So we headed back down the ramp (1.23 miles) for our seats in a new area for us. We wanted to avoid the sun so we sat in first level underneath the overhang. Seats were good, but the Mariner fans were quite annoying. I don’t think anyone saw more than 2 innings. Up and down during the whole game. I am glad we were sitting in the middle of the row so we weren’t up and down.

Back to the hotel where we listened to the Pirate postgame show. Seems that Velasquez was pulled due to elbow discomfort again. Then some time to do a bit of writing and reading my book before dinner.
Headed out to Alki Beach for dinner at Duke’s, They are famous for their clam chowder. Started out with a tall margarita to drown my sorrow, then a bowl of the famous chowder and a crab deviled egg. We followed that with crab cakes for Earle and Hannah’s French salmon for me. it was salmon filet with an herb mustard sauce and delicious
Back to the hotel and time to semi-organize suitcases and for our cheesecake dessert. Some blog writing and tv before bed.
