This past weekend, we took a drive down to Seattle for quick little getaway. The plan was to eat good food, do some shopping and just spend a bit of time outside the small city that we call home. I guess that, based on these photos, the trip ended up being almost entirely about food (I suppose that's what happens when multiple males are involved!). It was certainly one indulgent weekend, and here are a few photos of some of the highlights. Prepare to get very hungry.
{We started off with some incredible, guilt-inducing junk food, including Oreo milkshakes served in beakers...}
{...and an absolutely drool-worthy duck & pork patty burger with garlic mayo, bacon, lots of cheese and tator tots!}
{A visit to Pike Place Market was a mandatory part of our itinerary! We were baffled by the gigantic size of the seafood...}
{...and visited the first ever Starbucks! The lineups were insane- we passed and went for local Tully's Coffee & macarons from Le Panier instead.}
{We indulged in some delicious, crispy-on-the-outside fluffy mini donuts...}
{...and I was a little sad that I couldn't bring some beautiful tulips home!}
{We finished off with the best clam chowder at Pike Place Chowder before driving home. I was pretty much in an intense state of happiness (to say the least!) the entire time thanks to all the food!}
{I also came home with this bright ostrich embossed clutch, which I can't wait to wear it this spring!}

The first-ever Starbucks, huh? Is there anything on their menu that you can't get anywhere else? Like maybe something they don't sell anymore?

Love your new MK clutch, Jen! It's definitely you. I really need to get to Seattle more... I've only been once in the entire 8 years I've lived in Vancouver!

It looks like you had a nice time! The last time the boy and I went, we spent more time shopping than eating because I had to go to J. Crew and Anthropologie lol. Lately we've been talking about taking a weekend trip to Seattle just to go salsa dancing.

We take a trip to Seattle every spring and these photos are making me think it's time for another one! It looks like you had a fabulous - and delicious - time. (And I know just how you feel about the flowers at Pike Place Market. One day I will bring home a bouquet.) Can't wait to see that beautiful orange clutch styled :)
xox,

Glad you had a delicious trip to my city! I was hesitant to scroll down after your warning, because I did get very hungry ;) Which was your favorite place you visited?
