These Little Piggies Went to Market


The Pike Place Market that is. Before we made it to the Market we started our day at Pacific Place where we surprised our daughter with a trip to Tiffany's. We wanted to get her something special for graduation. You should have seen the look on her face when they brought out the bracelet and put it on her. After that we headed for the Market. There were people everywhere. Street musicians, jugglers, balloon benders, even a guy giving out free hugs. After having lunch at The Athenian we decided to check out some shops. That's when I found this group of porkers proudly staring back at us.

  1. Good for you. Tiffany's would be a place that would probably startle me if I had a better eye for jewelry. I like the idea of the market place.

  4. Abe: It's okay. I don't think I'll be returning there too often. This was a special occasion though.

    MB: Ok, I'll see if I can get close enough to the bling to photograph it. As far as the pigs, yes you are right.

    Lois: My wife recognized it. That was Santa pig.
