A couple of years ago, I ventured to a city and spent the best weekend ever shopping, exploring, and eating. Last weekend, I took a trip to that same city, but this time was accompanied by my besties Kyria and Carly.

My Favorite Parts were:

• Staying at the amazing Renaissance Hotel in downtown Seattle
• Drinking from the fountains of Seattle's Best Coffee (Triple Chocolate for the girls and Passion Tea for myself)
• Shopping at the Nordstrom Flagship and Humongous Nordstrom Rack (on 3 separate occasions)
• Eating at every top YELP rated restaurant we could lay our eyes on
• Making friends with the famous fish throwers in Pike Place Market
• Being hit on every 7 seconds because my friends are beautiful
• Meeting a cab driver who offered to be our personal driver next time we come to town
• Having Sunday brunch on Bainbridge Island
• Dancing our hearts out in Belltown with the most beautiful people in the country (and meeting my soul mate/ new long distance lover)
• Eating atop the Space Needle for a late Saturday dinner, and then returning (for FREE) on Sunday to see the city on an abnormally clear day
• Taking a walking food tour around Pike Place Market and tasting everything from Fruit to Cheese to Smoked Salmon
• Eating a lot and compensating by walking 50,000 steps (Thank you FitBit) in sunny 70 degree weather
• And finally, hanging out with Carly and Kyria who make me laugh harder than anyone ever did.

 

 

 

I think we belong there.
