I vow to… take care of my family

                continue to kick ass in school

                make my last quarter the most memorable

                try new things

                forever appreciate and love good friends who are there for me

                make new friends

                and

                let every person who has once looked down on me know…

                I’m living life to the fullest and there is no stopping me. 

.

.

I haven’t felt so confident about my future in so long.

…I know this feeling may not last long…

but damn sure going to soak it in while I have the chance.

.

.

This is for you.

I promised you I would do big things.

I’m going to keep my promise.

And I’m going to make you so proud…

There are TONS of places to eat in downtown Seattle even in Pike Place market alone.  What is the best way to try out Seattle’s famous food spots in one day than to food hop??? After some intense yelping/googling/asking friends…we made up a list of 7 places to hit. 

.

1) Beecher’s Handmade Cheese

           - Mac and cheese

           - Not usually a fan of mac and cheese but this is the BEST one I have ever had.

.

2) Piroshky Piroshky

           - Smoked Salmon Piroshky

           - This russian bakery is a must-go! 

.

3)  Daily Dozen Doughnut Company 

           - Assorted Donuts 

           - Cute little stand with a long line!

.

4)  Pike Place Chowder

           - New England Clam Chowder

           - SOOOO good….cute server too ;] 

           - Small seating area turned out to be a good thing! Ended up sitting next to a  couple from Wales (Brinley and Cheryl), both with the cutest British accent.  Had the best 40 minute conversation with them while enjoying our clam chowder! 

.

5)  Original 1912 Starbucks

          - Iced white mocha

          - The original brown logo is interesting

.

6)  The Crumpet Shop

          - Homemade Nutella Crumpet

          - Homemade nutella was spot-on!

.

7) Gourmet Dog Japon

          - Matsuri and Kabuki 

          - Couldn’t find it the first time and was going to skip it but luckily found this cute hotdog stand on our walk back to the hotel.

          - Who would of thought such ingredients would be so good on a hotdog???

I had the chance to travel to Seattle, Washington this past week.  In my opinion if you are looking to take a short 2-3 day vacation, Seattle is just the spot.  Aside from the state’s notorious rainy weather forecast…the food is delicious and the locals are very friendly.

Steak, potatoes, and asparagus. My brother and sister are the best…
