I realized that I have yet to post about our trip to Seattle (with the exception of my birthday), so here I am with the first installment of our adventures! With being sick when we got home and adjusting back to work, things have been a bit crazy! I haven't even started school yet or began my supplemental college application, so we shall see how things go when all of that is added in as well ;)
Anyway, I thought I would start with our time exploring Pike Place Market! We ended up coming here a few times throughout our trip since we really enjoyed it. It was definitely a zoo here with all of the people still soaking up the holiday break! I had seen so many photos of the iconic Pike Place Market (especially this sign!), so it was really cool to actually be here myself :)
During our time in Seattle, I always loved the views of Puget Sound and all of the boats and such. We obviously have a huge bay here, but there is just something different about the views of the water here! So beautiful.
We opted to take a 2-hour tour of the market with a company called Savor Seattle. It was a great time and really helped us to understand the history of the market and its purpose, which we definitely wouldn't have learned just wandering around on our own. We also got to try a lot of little bites to eat from vendors in the market area, like clam chowder, seafood bisque, mini doughnuts, Opal apples, tea, smoked salmon, and crab cakes.
Our tour guide was really funny and kept our interest the entire time, which was definitely nice. We were also able to find a Groupon for the tour, so I recommend looking for one before you book to save a lot of money!
We decided to visit the market again on our last day in Seattle since there were still some things we wanted to do like eat fish & chips and oysters (well Dai did anyway haha seafood is not my thing), grab some mini cinnamon & sugar doughnuts, and get some Opal apples to take home because they are the best! Never have I been so excited about apples.
So there you have it! Our little visit to Pike Place Market. Looking through these photos really makes me miss Seattle! I hope we get to visit it again sometime, maybe this time in summer :)
I know I haven't been around on the blog much lately, but I am hoping to nail down more of a routine to ensure that I get my blogging time in. Sometimes I am just too tired at the end of the day to even think about working on my laptop! Well, anyway, you will see much more of me this week :)
Hope everyone has a great start to their week!
