Can I just say that I love seattle?


What a great weekend it was to be in Seattle. It was snowy here in chicago (yes, snowy) but it was beeeeea-u-tiful out in the pacific northwest. it only sprinkled a little on the day I left and it was 75 and sunny all day saturday. It was so fantastic to hang out with Abby and see Rachel again. We did a lot of somewhat random things, but it definitely made the weekend unforgettable. And again, Seattle is beeeeea-u-tiful!




The weekend consisted of:
1. delicious food: fish tacos, french pastries, gourmet pizza, mango quesadillas, risotto cakes, savory vegetarian chili...yum!
2. a road trip to see fields of tulips. unfortunately, the tulips hadn't 'popped' yet, but the daffodil fields didn't disappoint.
3. a quilt museum
4. a glass museum
5. fabric stores, yarn stores, bookstores, pottery stores, oh my!
6. lots of laughs
7. IKEA
8. architecture
9. money handouts. some lady randomly gave me $1 on the street.
10. fantastic views. "well hello there mountains"
11. Pike place market
12. Flying fish
13. endless cups of seattle coffee
14. Glorious blisters on my feet from all the walking.
15. Calatrava, Chihuly, Koolhaas

The amazing new seattle library, designed by Rem Koolhaas (it was really kool ;)
