Seattle.
I love this city. It’s full of amazing coffee, delicious food, great people, and it’s so green (in every sense of the word)!
My dear friend, Kim, scored tickets to see Adele in concert in this fantastic city and I was thrilled to be her weekend getaway date. Girls weekend with Kim and Adele?
YES, PLEASE!
Our plan was to explore the city, mostly on foot, and so we needed fuel to do that. Or at least that is what we told ourselves as we proceeded to eat our way around Seattle. First stop on Saturday morning,
Cupcake Royale, for a breakfast of champions.

| All breakfasts should be coffee and a giant cupcake. |
 |
| The gorgeous Kim with the awesome view to be seen at Queen Anne Park. |
 |
| Walking along the waterfront. |
Time to eat again.
Biscuit Bitch had the best biscuits and gravy I’ve had outside the South. The coffee was flavored with orange peel and that was pretty yummy, too.
 |
| How fantastic does this look?! Biscuits, gravy, fried egg, and bacon. YUM! |
Saturday evening, we enjoyed the
Chihuly Garden and Glass which is next to the
Space Needle, so of course we rode to the top of it. It was a beautiful evening for it and I was wishing I hadn’t decided to just use my phone for pictures all weekend (I opted not to carry the big camera all over Seattle).

 |
| I loved the use of reflections and light in the museum. |
 |
| The colors in this made me think of a gorgeous beach sunset. It was stunning. |
 |
| I wasn’t kidding when I said it was right next door to the Space Needle. |
 |
| Kim and I having our own fun with reflections and light out in the garden. |
 |
| Sunshine, water, and mountains in the distance. So lovely. |
 |
| Space Needle selfie! |
 |
| Kim. Contemplating life. And how to get a job and move here and have this view forever. |
 |
| Such a great piece of architecture. |
Sunday morning, we took the
Underground Tour. There are no pictures of this, but it was pretty neat. The tour guide was funny and informative and we both enjoyed it. We spent the rest of the day exploring different areas from Pioneer Square up to Capitol Hill. And you know that all that walking means a whole lot of eating. I chose not to take pictures of all our food since I’m not a food blogger and mostly, I was too busy eating it, but trust me, it was a panoply of deliciousness.
 |
| This is our potato pizza from Serious Pie. Kim couldn’t even wait until I took the picture to start. So freaking good. |
 |
| Just a short while later… |
 |
| Dessert from Molly Moon’s. My favorite ice cream place. Ever. Anywhere. |
 |
| Snapping a selfie with downtown and Mt. Rainier from our hotel’s rooftop patio, which was awesome. |
 |
| Putting my feet up and relaxing with this view. My life doesn’t suck. |
 |
| Seattle at sunset with the mountain out. Love. |
Monday we walked down past the
Pike Place Market to catch the ferry to
Bainbridge Island. Getting out on the water in Seattle is always nice and the island is a lovely place to go.
