A Saturday in Seattle ...

My husband and I took a little getaway trip to Seattle to celebrate his birthday ... Yup, it was raining, yup - the traffic was crazy and yup - we had a great time together!
I love Pike Place Market - Full of life, energy and vibrant flavors, colors and people!
I love to stop at the fish stand and see the guys throw the fish and chant their 'fishing chants' ...
We stopped for fresh doughnuts (1 dozen tossed into a brown paper bag sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar) ---- YUM!
The flowers are gorgeous ...

And so romantic. I love to see all the ladies walking around the market carrying their fresh flowers and their guys holding their hands... ohh la la la. :)
Not pictured: The macaroni and cheese from Beechers ... It is so good. If you ever find yourself in Seattle at Pike Place Market, get in line and get a tub of this ultra yummy stuff. And don't worry about having an umbrella - sometimes getting caught in the rain is the best way to spend a Saturday in Seattle. :)

I love Seattle, and not just because I grew up there. I love the rain, the sights, the smells, the people... and I miss it all horribly. Thanks for sharing a bit of "home" with me!! :)
