Seattle

Kevin and I were lucky enough to get away to Seattle this weekend. We've been wanting to go for a long time and we finally made it happen. (Thanks Mom and Dad for coming to watch Caroline while we were gone!)

Here we are eating at Spazzos in Redmond, Washington. Best Sangria we've ever had!

Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery was beautiful.

Kev took this picture in the parking lot of the Red Hook Brewery - beautiful trees!

We went to the Space Needle and the sky literally cleared up and the sun came out - the only time that happened while we were there.
View from the Space Needle - if you look carefully there is a Southwest airplane flying over downtown.



It was really cold and windy at the top of the Space Needle.
This is us in the elevator on the way down from the top of the Space Needle.
We spent a lot of time just walking around the Pike Place Market and loved it.
Here is the storefront of the original Starbucks started in 1971. This may seem insignificant to you but its kind of like Mecca to me. I was surprised by how small and humble the store is and that they still have the original brown logo in the store - it says "Coffee - Tea - Spices".

Me at Mecca.

We had a great weekend and fell in love with the town of Redmond. If only it wasn't so far away, we would love to live in Redmond!
