Seattle :)


We wanted to go somewhere before June was born... Dan has always wanted to go to Seattle, so, Seattle it is!

We flew in Thursday night and stayed at a cute little boutique hotel right in the middle of downtown. We took the metro there from the airport and had to wander around some VERY steep streets in the freezing cold, but finally found it and went out for dinner. It is two hours earlier there, so we had plenty of time!


The first day, we did some fun walking tours from this guide book I brought and toured downtown Seattle.

We went to this excellent doughnut place called Top Pot Doughnuts (a Seattle staple) for breakfast that some friends recommended and tried to get warm.
...and then continued on up to Queen Anne Hill, which had some fabulous views and amazing houses!



The last day, we went to Pike's Place Market where they throw the fish (Dan's favorite) and went to the first Starbucks ever!

Then, on to Pioneer Square (my favorite), which is the oldest part of Seattle. We went on this amazing tour of the underground of Seattle. Seattle burned in 1888 and they built it one level up because of drainage issues.

All in all, a great trip! FREEZING, but always fun to explore new cities!
