Sunday I got to play tourist in my own city, showing a different side of Seattle to Mom, Kelli, and Abby before the Colorado crew headed back home. We started off the morning at the Ballard Farmer's Market where it stayed grey but dry, joining the hundreds of other market-goers checking out the yummy winter veggies, cutest dogs, and Market mini donuts {which we of course had to try}. After the market we headed up to the Starbucks Roastery, which ended up being a pretty terrible idea for a Sunday afternoon as it was crawling with tourists and the wait for coffee looked to be hours. After a quick stop in the pretty empty {sad} Melrose Market, we continued east towards Madrona, stopping in at Glassybaby so Kelli could get her very first one. After a yummy lunch at Madrona Arms we headed over to Volunteer Park Cafe for coffees, winding along some of my favorite neighborhoods before heading home to chill pre-airport. It was fun showing these guys parts of the city that aren't the normal tourist traps and it reminded me of some of my favorite parts of Seattle. Can't wait to have you back, ladies!
