A chaperoned field trip

Last week Kelsey accompanied me back to Seattle.  Seriously, it was the worst weather week since we've been here!  We did get to do a few touristy things.  

We headed to the Pike Market and I showed her the fish throwing.  We got to to to the first Starbucks at Pike Place.

We enjoyed some Maple Bacon donuts at the market and this was their tip jar:


We made a trip to the gum wall and enjoyed broken souls and gum brains. 





We made it to the cheese place my aunt told me about and got to watch them make cheese right in  front of us, eat fresh curds and savor amazing mac and cheese.  




We enjoyed an amazing caramel latte on a rainy afternoon and then baristas came around with FREE warm CHOCOLATE CAKE just because.  They call it gift cake.  Amazing.  



We took a morning and headed to the Starbucks Reserve and roastery where you can see the beans being roasted and watch them make your drinks freshly.  They have select drinks and espresso you can only get here.  It was fantastic.









We finished our week off with a fantastic dinner at Ivar's Salmon house right on the water with a perfect night time view of the city.  It was rainy so the picture isn't very clear.  Maeve didn't want to sit in a a chair and wanted a bench (the restaurant only had chairs) but we made a good meal of the shrimp and brie stuffed salmon despite her attempts to distract us!
