Seattle...

...is the city of Nordstrom, REI, Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Kurt Cobain, Owl City, Macklemore, and the best coffee ever (just to name a few)! Seattle just so happens to be one of my favorite cities for those things, and also because two of my best friends live here. And what's even better about having friends living in a city you're visiting, is that they will take you to all the local food and hang out spots, and not a day will go by without you eating good food. Here's a quick recap of my trip so far:

View of Seattle bright and early from Kerry Park

Grabbing some latte's at the original Starbucks at Pike Place Market 

Daily Dozen Donuts - the best donuts in the downtown area. We ate half a dozen plain donuts in one sitting...yes, we're fat. :P

Lunch from Off the Rez food truck (Native American Food) - Pork Tacos with a Mango Frybread

  A day trip to the Museum of Flight

We even got to climb aboard the original Air Force One that JFK, Eisenhower, Nixon, and Johnson used during their presidency

Grabbing a cup of Joe at Espresso Vivace (aka the best cup of coffee I've ever had, I'm not lying!)

Then we took a day trip to Bainbridge Island. I was so excited to ride the Washington State Ferry!

And we found amazing ice cream at Mora on Bainbridge Island. We had their signature Blackberry ice cream (as seen on the bottom) and a scoop of their Rose Petal ice cream (you can even see the petals)

Lastly, HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!! I hope everyone had a safe and fun day. My best friend and I made Bourbon Whiskey Chocolate Buttercream and Bailey's Cupcakes to celebrate. :)
