I Just Can't Get Enough

We have absolutely LOVED every minute of our Seattle summer. I wish it was a little warmer here, but I will say that I have officially declared the myth that Seattle rains all year long debunked!

I didn't believe it at first when seattleites kept telling me it only rains often in the winter, but I am a believer. It has only drizzled twice since I've been here, but this post is thankfully not about the weather. 

I do want to share a couple of our amazing experiences out here in the pacific northwest.

1. Pikes Place Market 


My number one favorite thing has been Pikes Place Market. I don't know why it is my number one, but it is definitely the thing I will miss most about this place.

1. I can walk there in 10 minutes.
2. The produce is so freaking amazing I can't stand it.
3. The fresh flowers are so gorgeous, smell good, and are so cheap!



I mostly just like having a concentrated area full of people, great food, and unique trinkets. 




2. San Juan Island Tour 


Microsoft has been so incredible to us this summer, and one of the many cool things they planned for the summer was a clipper cruise to the San Juan Islands. It took us 3 hours to get there, but it was all worth it.


Mount Baker 





The views all the way there were so breathtaking! Mount Baker, dolphins, and slate blue ocean...I just couldn't get enough.








Killer Whale at Orca Island 

We went whale watching for a couple of hours, again all paid for by Microsoft.














However, the real fun was when we actually got off onto the island to explore! Yes... we got a Scoot Coupe!! I had no idea that a little, goofy car would be the highlight but it was!






We scoot couped all around that island.








 It was the cutest, most charming little island. I instantly fell in love with it. I wish it wasn't a 3 hour trip to Seattle or I would consider moving there!
