Though I had never been to Seattle before, I knew that there were two “touristy” things that I had to see – the Space Needle and Pike’s Market. The Space Needle did give a great view of Washington and it is something that you should probably do once, but I don’t know if I want to pay fourteen dollars to ride an elevator again. But the real treat of the city is Pike’s Market. The ladies from Attorneys Online went there after dropping off our bags at the hotel. While we didn’t see flying fish (it was too late in the day), we did get to sample incredible fruit (we recommend cherries and lychees), homemade cheese (they let you sample several before you decide which to purchase), exotic teas (though no organics), and some of Washington’s wines. Since it was Bastille Day, we even got to see some Can-Can dancers doing a PG-13 cabaret dance in the street. It is definitely the place to go whether you have hours of time or days.

The ATLA convention itself was very nice; we are now starting to be regulars at the convention and we have lots of friends to mingle with. The highlight of the convention was getting to go with many of the Texas Trial Lawyers (since we have so many offices in Texas) to meet John Edwards in a private suite. No matter what your political affiliations, it was pretty nice to go and hear what he had to say in person. Overall, the ATLA convention is always one of our favorites and we look forward to Miami!
