one of steven & i's favorite thing to do is travel. the thought of being someplace else & seeing everything that place has to offer excites me! we had the chance to go to seattle the past week, a place where we have always wanted to go. when people asked where we were going & we said seattle, a lot of responses were "you know it rains there all day everyday right?" people tend to forget i love the rain, so this is the perfect vacation for me.

we ended up going with another couple who had actually been there on their honeymoon. this was very helpful since they already knew their way around the city. i did however have a few fears about this trip.

#1 - i hate seafood. seattle is known for it's amazing seafood because they catch everything right there! our first place to eat was called ivar's & of course it was a seafood place. i was hoping the menu would have some sort of chicken plate, but that was a negative. so...i had to brave it. i order fish & chips & who would have known, i loved it!!!! now i don't consider myself a lover a seafood just yet, but this was a baby step.

#2- i hate elevators & heights. seattle is also know for the space needle & does anyone know how you get to the very top? yup, an elevator & not just any elevator. this elevator is on the outside of the space needle so you can see outside while you're going up...yippee. i did conquer this fear not once, but twice.















one good thing about seattle - coffee on every corner! i felt like i was in heaven! everywhere we looked there was either a starbucks or another coffee house. one of our first stops of course had to be the original starbucks. i couldn't believe how small it was!
another place i feel in love with was the market. fresh veggies, fruit & all sorts of food everywhere! my only wish i that okc had something like this! the picture on the right is where they throw the fish. i just wish i could have caught it on video.














i cannot wait to go back! in all the places steven & i have been, i could seriously see us living there - minus the earthquakes & the family living here in oklahoma! we had a great time with amazing friends & hopefully we can make more trips together soon!
