One night in Seattle...

For a little while there, I didn't think that I'd be able to get to Seattle this weekend for my friend Jessie's baby shower! I-5 was closed for a couple of days because there was a major downpour and the freeway flooded. But, I guess mother nature decided to cut us a break, and they re-opened it on Friday! Jocelyn and I were originally going to go up on Friday, but decided to go first thing on Saturday morning instead. We rolled into town around 10am, had lunch with Jocelyn's friend Erin and her daughter. I went to the baby shower in the afternoon, which was very enjoyable. It was fun to catch up with a couple of old friends, and meet some great new girls! Here's a pic of me, Jessie and Becca at the shower. :)



After the party, I met back up with Jocelyn and Erin, we checked into the hotel, and then had quite a treat for dinner! Erin had a $100 dollar gift certificate that she wanted to spend, so we went to a fancy joint a couple blocks from the hotel. The food was AMAZING. I had a steak that was $46!!!! I would pretty much never order something that expensive, but, it was free money! After we stuffed ourselves with dinner, Erin insisted that we had dessert, so Jocelyn and I shared the Creme Brulee...shoot, I forgot to take a picture of it before we dove in! So, here's a pic of the delicious steak instead! After dinner, we nearly had to roll out the front door. We crashed pretty hard that night. Couldn't do much more than lie there and digest!



This morning, we went shopping at H&M (which STILL hasn't come to Portland!) I was rather disappointed with their current selection, but, managed to get a couple of things nonetheless. We went down to Pike Place market to play tourists for a little bit before going home. Here's a photo of some of the pretty pretty produce on display! More pics of this weekend can be found on my facebook page!
