Seattle Road Trip: Cool Swims, Pike Place Market & The Picasso Exhibit


Early this week we took a quick trip up the road to Seattle to see friends, the Picasso Exhibit, sites and to enjoy some pool time.

Wait, it's December. This fact stopped me, but not the kids.


A pool deck with city atmosphere and the soothing sounds of a passing...train?!




Okay, enough of that. Get in the water to warm up, please!





Of course, is a visit to Seattle complete without a trip to the first Starbucks...



...or Le Panier's for some delicious pastries?



Then across the street to the Market.






I wish this spot was closer to home, what an unbelievable selection of seafood.





Heading up the hill to Daiso Japan, Isabella gets her hands on the camera.



A favorite stop! The "Japanese dollar store" with endless fun finds.




I made sure to pick up a pack of these for my next stenciling project.
The price was right.





Next, a bit of culture. Visiting SAM and the Picasso exhibit made me miss Chicago and all the time spent at the Art Institute...a trip to that city this summer would certainly be a treat.



Finally, a great bite before hitting the road. Beecher's makes the Best tomato soup and grilled panini sandwiches...ever.



I hope you enjoyed this tour of a brief visit to the great city of Seattle!
