So to finish my Seattle trip....
Hitting the highlights...
While Jason was giving his presentation, I wandered around Redmond. There I had some of THE BEST fish tacos I've ever had.
The Styrofoam takes away from their appeal. But trust me, they were good!
Then we headed to the Inn at the Market in Seattle. Our hotel is the third building in this pic. It's Beecher's (more on that later), Sur la Table, then our hotel.
We were so close to Pike's Market this pic of the famous sign was taken from our hotel.
From the hotel deck right outside our room.
Then we explored the market for a while. It was amazing. And beautiful. And so much to take in.
Then we walked to the monorail and took the monorail to the Space Needle.
From the top of the Space Needle.
That night we had a great seafood dinner at a local restaurant.
Again, the view from the restaurant's window. Just proving we never left the market area, other than our trek to the Space Needle. There was no need to be anywhere else.
One of the only pics with me in it. From our hotel deck again.
I forgot to pack a brush. You'd have thought I'd have bought one, but no. I just figured I'd wear ponytails or not be in any pictures. But somehow I got in a couple.
The next morning we woke up early because we knew we had to catch a plane at 11:00. We started the day at the Daily Dozen Donut shop in -- where else?-- the market.
These donuts came right off the conveyor belt and were dusted with cinnamon sugar and thrown in this paper sack. Oh. My. Word. YUM.
Then, with limited time, we went straight from donuts to Beecher's. Beecher's makes cheese. Not just any cheese. Their Flagship cheese is ridiculously good. We were advised by my friend Stefani to eat a grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was a must do!
Um... she wasn't kidding!!! As weird as it is to eat donuts then grilled cheese, it was sooooo worth it!!
We walked by the original Starbucks. You can't tell from this pic but the original logo was a topless mermaid. No wonder they made some changes...
We packed up and headed to the airport. It was a quick trip but a great one. We had a lot of fun together and enjoyed exploring a new town. We're definitely coming back one day!
Bye, Washington!
