My lovely roommate Jill refers to Seattle as 'The Promised Land' and peeps it's true. I've been here for two days and I just feel so... I don't even know. There's something about this place that I'm so in-love with. I don't know if it's the Starbucks on every corner, the lavender scented breezes or the ability to see the ocean by driving for only 10 minutes. Here's a few photos and my top ten highlights of the first two days here:
1. Running outside yesterday morning (although I should probably admit that only about the first 10 minutes was a run, I have been slacking off in the running department over the last few weeks and I'm a bit off my game).
2. Visiting my favorite place again (of course this visit was preceded by a visit to Starbucks)...
of course there had to be a few self-portraits on the pier.
3. A long walk along the water with my Aunt Linda.
4. Walking across a parking lot with Linda, getting a whiff of lavender and following our noses over to the plant from which I promptly collected a handful to stuff my sketchbook with.
5. Posing with the lavender in front of Bud's Bait House, Linda insisted I do this.
6. Eating some pretty amazing chicken lentil soup made by my Granny. Why is food so much better when other people make it?
7. Finding more tools for my now infamous You're A Tool Royal Bison necklaces. If you've been waiting for one drop me a note and I'll see what I can do. They sold out in a few hours at the Bison so I was crossing my fingers that there would be some more in Seattle so I could make more. Hey-oh!
8. Buying Dr. Scholls gel insoles for my grey boots, seriously, they're so amazing. I have super high arches and they make my (very flat) boots so much more comfy.
9. Eating this amazing burrito at my fave mexican place with one of my fave Seattle peeps Lauren.
I can't tell if this photo makes it look disgusting or amazing? For the record it was amazing, seriously beans, guacamole and chicken are the best combo ever.
10. This light...
It was so beautiful, I couldn't stop taking photos.
More soon.
