Seattle International Film 2016 Vacation

Starbucks Reserve, the only one in the Country.  Jeff and I were overwhelmed by the unique concept of Starbucks Reserve. 

I enjoyed a Smoked Butterscotch Latte and Jeff had Nitro Cold Brew (cold brew infused with nitrogen, brings out the coffee's creamy natural sweetness). Of course that was Jeff's cookie on our tray. 

Jeff said I am addicted.  

another visit - Cafe Mocha

Serious Pie is a famous pizza restaurant from Chef Tom Douglas. We enjoyed 3 of his restaurants in Seattle. Serious Pie was one of them. 

Outrageous Breakfast Place....Biscuit Bitch

Jeff, Tamara, Tam2 and I really enjoyed this outrageous breakfast. Biscuits, eggs, gravy and of course a little bacon!!

Of course one reason we came to Seattle.....the International Film Festival. This year they offered 420 films. Jeff and I selected 24 awesome films. 

The Space Needle

Day trip on Memorial Day to Lopez Island (San Juan Islands).  We wanted to have a special lunch on the island with the 2 T's. We were enjoying a fun relaxing lunch outside at a delicious restaurant Until everyone was talking about the long line to get on the Ferry so we decided to get in line with our car.  When we arrived we had a 6 hour wait to get back on the Ferry. The line of traffic was shocking. We approached the line around 1:00 pm and our vehicle got on the Ferry at 7:00 pm. Luckily there was areas to hike while our car waited. Lots of fun but a long day. 

This is a small part of the waiting line.

Seattle Kerry Park

Our condo was in walking distance from this beautiful park. Awesome views...

Jeff found a friend while outside. I hope Jack and TJ doesn't see this 

It was so great to go home after a fantastic trip. What a nice welcome from all the ladies at our office. I definitely missed each one of them.
