Seattle Lovin'

Troy is officially done with his third year of med school! WHOOO! Naturally, we had to celebrate and have some fun! So, this was a perfect time to visit my in-laws in Seattle and have a little weekend get-away. They have been living there about six months now and are loving it and I can see why! We managed to squeeze a lot into the short weekend, doing both local and tourist things. It was nice to get out of the 110 degrees of Vegas and cool off in the Pacific Northwest. We had typical Seattle weather which is definitely a change for us but it was awesome! I felt relaxed the entire time. It’s so cozy there under the clouds. Some of our tourist adventures included: a cruise tour of Lake Washington, Pike’s Market Place, going to the first Starbucks, the Space Needle and the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum. (we also saw Dale Chihuly’s glass house on the cruise tour, since it’s made of glass, people can see him bathing!) Seattle is very liberal and culturally diverse, such a neat city and SO green! There are so many amazing restaurants and bars everywhere. All we did was eat and drink and walk! I’m exhausted! My in-laws live in the University district. I loved their little neighborhood and seeing what they do on the daily (I especially loved their rooftop deck-of course I insisted we make s’mores in the fire pit and drink margs up there) I know this won’t be our last trip to Seattle and I already can’t wait to go back!
