I love Seattle!

I know, I know. . . you all have heard me say it at least once, I L-O-V-E Seattle! If I could convince Kurt to move back to the Pacific Northwest I would leave tomorrow. Kurt and I were able to go for a quick weekend trip and it was worth every minute of the horrible 13 hour drive. The majority of the time was spent buying supplies and packing a shipping container for my parent's fishing lodge in Alaska but we were also able to fit in some quality friend time. We stayed in the Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle. Have I mentioned how much I love Westin hotels? Their Heavenly beds are, well. . . heavenly! One of the mornings there we met our good friends and old neighbors, the Apfelbeck's, at Maltby Cafe for breakfast. I swear, the Maltby Cafe has the best breakfast in the world, only to be rivaled by the Gazebo on the island of Maui. It was great, I mean really, how can you go wrong when you mix good friends and good food :). Then that night we were able to go to our first ever roller derby bout with our friends, Bob and Starla. It was not at all what I expected and was so much fun! Starla and Bob are a blast, not to mention, that Starla is the best real estate agent EVER! Last but not least, the morning we headed for home we were able to swing by my co-worker and awesome friend, Jude's house. It was so great to see where she lives (she's moved since I was last there). I love her house and the natural area that borders her property. I told her I would pack up and be ready to move in within the week :).

Check out those women. They mean business!
