Annie and Lacy were so awesome to let me venture with them to Seattle for a nice girls weekend in which it did not rain ONE time while we were there...even though it was snowing at home. Our primary purpose was to see Weezer, but none of us had been to Seattle and therefore, it was even more fun to go exploring for the day.
After taking forever and a day trying to park (bless Annie for taking on the driver roll), we finally raced to make the 9am tour. To our minor disappointment we couldn't find the tour so we made up our own and tried to find the donuts. We succeeded. A dozen mini assorted donuts later, we were a few satisfied girls and we continued to browse.
I have always been a HUGE fan of farmers markets, boutiques etc. and therefore, this place was heaven! If I were to live in Seattle, I would be at the market constantly...or at least twice a week to buy the most gorgeous flowers for the cheapest price. The picture below is of flowers that were only $5 for each bouqet. Men in Seattle have no excuse to not buy their significant others flowers, they just don't.

There were so many different stores and stands with everything from flowers to fish to dried fruit and of course jewelry (I enjoy how much Lacy enjoys jewelry). We even came across a pasta stand that sold Dark Chocolate Linguine, sounds kind of random I know, but I was so intrigued, I bought some. I'll let you know how good it was :)
Once we had our fill of the market (okay, I didn't really have my fill, but we were pressed for time), we headed to the Space Needle for a delicious lunch.
Annie and I in front of the Space Needle.The Sky City Restaurant offered us a nice 360 degree view of Seattle every 47 minutes along with a three course brunch that was enough to feed a small army!
Too. Much. Food.
With lunch to hold us over until the middle of next week, we were ready for a little R&R before we jaunt to the H&M. We took a small nap and then were set to hit the crowds at our favorite shopping spot. None of us left H&M without a few choice items of apparel that we were excited about.
On to the main event: Weezer! Yes...yes, I know. I saw Weezer earlier in the week in Salt Lake, but the Davis crowd have been big Weezer fans for years and who was I to back out on an offer to see a great show? We had even better seats (row 6) than in Salt Lake...always a plus.
So bascially, this trip was a success! I can't wait to go back to Seattle and the market...when that will be, I have no idea, but I will be back!

Looks like you had fun. I have always wanted to go there!
I'd probably never get flowers at random in Seattle. Just not in his blood...
Sounds like a ton of fun. I am moving up to that area in the Spring so you will have to come visit me. JK Granted we will live on a Naval base but still we will be by Seattle. Love ya and miss ya!!
