Speechless in Seattle!

I spent a special weekend in Seattle.  I was struck by the stunning scenery.  Everywhere I turned there were clever conifers casting interesting silhouettes against the mountainous sky line.  The blooming blossoms in every color were lovely to see.  We were granted deceptively beautiful weather for our visit, and being within walking distance of the market, delicious coffee, food & uniquely wonderful shopping were amongst the contributors of a truly memorable date (not to mention my dreamy companion).

After flying in, and being greeted by Mt. Rainier, we had a local brew at an Irish Pub.  We spent the next day taking a ferry across Puget Sound, and circumnavigating the Olympic Peninsula which includes all types of natural beauty, even a rain forest!  We had tangerine martinis & dinner at Long, and strolled the streets to take in the fresh air.  Sunday morning sent us on a hunt for the local sites.  The original Starbucks, the Freemont Troll, the Space Needle, quaint neighborhoods & Bloody Mary's made a nice close to a perfect weekend.  We were greeted with champagne upon check-in, and our hotel room came with a french press.  Honestly, could a girl ask for more??








I feel completely lucky,
