tour of seattle.

Even though the boyfriend has been to Seattle four times, he had yet to actually see downtown Seattle. I took him around it one time at night, but that's not much of a tour, so we decided a day in Seattle would be a great way to spend the day after Christmas.
First off, I will say that a perk to having a boyfriend is you don't have to pump your gas! Coming from a girl who didn't pump her own gas until she was 18 and headed to college.
You gotta love a man who will happily hold your purse and Lululemon bag!
Walking through the Skybridge headed to Nordstrom, oh the excitement on his face. :)
After we grabbed a quick snack we had a little photo shoot on the balcony of Westlake Center.
PIKE PLACE MARKET!! I hadn't been down to Pike Place in forever, so we quickly made our way through the market {it was cold and smelled like fish, and we all know how much I love fish}. Also showed him the 1st Starbucks, we can't wait to go back and choose a little restaurant in the alley to check out.
Oh, Kerry Park on Queen Anne {my old college stomping grounds}. This park is famous for the beautiful view of the city, Alki Beach, the Ferries, Islands, etc .. A place many many Seattle Pacific University students go to proposed to their girls. We also made a pit stop at Gavin's house {the little cutie I nannied throughout college} but sadly they were all taking naps!
Look who we found in a parking lot?! Monica!! Just kidding, she was in the area and wanted to say hello to us, I love how she will go slightly out of her way just to say Hi to me and the boy. Love her. And LOVE my apron she gave me.

all in all a fantastic day in Seattle!
