Seattle....So Fun

I know it's kind of late....But better late then never....huh?


The weekend of December 5th we joined some wonderful friends and their staff from First Choice Physical Therapy on a trip to Seattle. We had a wonderful time and they are all such a great group of people. Thursday afternoon we landed in Seattle and it was go, go, go from then till we got on the plane Sat. night.


Thursday night we had dinner at the Tap House. I wish I would have taken a picture of all the taps there. they had over 160 on tap all the time and another 20 season beers on tap. It was awesome, a whole wall of taps! The guys were in heaven. After dinner us girls couldn't sit still so we hit the streets of downtown Seattle for some great shopping, that even included sneaking into the Nordstroms "private" holiday party! It was great they were handing out food and drinks and we were just soaking it up!

Friday was up bright and early and off to the outlet mall. It was by far the BEST outlet mall I have ever been to. There was every kind and type of store there you could ever imagine! After a long packed day of shopping it was back to the hotel to get ready for the "Christmas Dinner." The dinner was at a great Italian Restaurant in downtown Seattle and they had wonderful food!!! Then off for a night of Bar hopping. It was to Von's(they had more alcohol then any bar i have ever been to. Not that I frequent them) and then back to the Tap House for the final drinks of the evening.



Saturday was a sleep in day! Thank goodness. After we got checked out of our room we met up with my Uncle Bob, and cousin Marissa for a walk around Pike's Place Market. We had fun with them, and they new all the cool and unique spots of Pike's and Downtown Seattle! After lunch at the Pike's Brewery it was time to pack up and head to the airport!
The Gum Wall....YUCK!!!!


It was a great little mini-vacation!!! Thanks First Choice!!!! You're the Best!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

WOW! You were only 15 hours from us and you couldn't even stop in? I see how you are. Looks like everyone had a great time. I love Seattle. Next summer we'll be back there for a visit. I've never shopped much, except for a few places around the Market Place. We love going there and watching the fish get thrown. What ever happened with the planes?
