During this past semester I was feeling bogged down with school work and life responsibilities, so I planned a quick weekend trip to Seattle to keep me motivated and focusing on fun to come. I loved the city, and when I was planning my summer trips I knew I wanted to go back.
I started out at
Oddfellow's Cafe+Bar. When I was last there I was only able to get a biscuit and latte to-go because of the brunch rush. Can I just say that I fantasized about that biscuit and tried
many times to recreate it at home.

| Brioche French Toast |
I obviously took a biscuit with jam and butter to-go. And off I went (right next door) to
Elliott Bay Book Company. This place is a dream. Gorgeous storefront. Hardwood floors and racks and racks, stacks and tables, of books, magazines, cards...
I bought a new book I had read about online. It's called
The Luckiest Girl Alive, by Jessica Knoll. After about an hour there I walked over to
Local360 for lunch.

| Delicious Fried Chicken Sandwich |
The weekend before I came was Seattle's Pride festival. Rainbow flags were in most of the businesses and restaurants, and many of their sidewalks were decorated too.
 |
| Lots of shops and buildings have awesome murals like this one |
 |
| Cute little daycare field trip |
 |
| "Ice cream makes you happy" |
The next morning I walked to
Healeo. It's amazing. Cold pressed juice, smoothies, delicious and healthy foods...
 |
| Even my breakfast was happy :) |
I was able to read my book for a while at Healeo while I ate my breakfast. Then I wandered back over to Oddfellow's to read, binge-watch the new Lifetime series UnREAL, and of course, savor a biscuit
and a couple glasses of bubbly.

| Here it is, in all it's glory...le biscuit |
After a leisurely afternoon in Capital Hill, I took an Uber to the Amtrak station where I boarded my train to Portland.

| The two-year-old I nanny for loves trains. I got so many pictures and videos to show him. |
