The room was pretty great...huge soaking tub, and a view of the infinity pool and the Puget Sound.

On Friday we had already purchased tickets to the Seattle Symphony (as part of our attempt to be more cultured this year), so we ate dinner with the group, then walked up the block to Benaroya Hall. The show was Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, and it was by far my favorite performance I've seen. They had a huge screen showing all the old Warner Brothers classics while a live orchestra played the music. Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Pepé le Pew, Tom & Jerry, Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote...all the great ones. It was fun to see the cartoons all these years later and realize they still hold up, hilarious.
The artist showcased on Saturday, Michael Godard, was quite the character...lives in Vegas, loud, funny and very rock-n-roll. He reminded us of Bret Michaels with that bandana and eye liner. He's known for painting silly scenes with either olives or grapes and incorporating martinis or glasses of wine. Not quite our style, but he was fun to see and turns out he has quite the following.

On Sunday, artist Tim Yanke was showcased. He has some really cool work. Most of it is western inspired, lots of head dresses, cowboys and bull horns. He has some really neat abstract pieces as well. I love all the bright neon colors he uses.
