Saturday morning July 31st. Tia shoffy picked me up with Carla. We were off to Seattle. The plan was to stop by the outlets, do some shopping and get to Seattle with good time to sight see and walk the streets, eat some seafood and enjoy the city.
Here is what happened. It usually takes 2hrs to get to Seattle. It took us 11hr. LOL
710am- leave house
730am- arrive at boarder but there is already a line bc it doesn't open till 8 (small border)
825 cross the border
930 stop for breakfast near 1st set of outlets. (lululemon! gap. Tommy, nine west, COACH) We eat and shop. leave around 1230
110, stop at next set of outlets. i can't even name them there was like 50. We shopped til about 5pm. hahaha I have never bought so much in one day at so many different stores.
Carla wanted to go to Ross, (like a Winners) which was down the street so we went there till about 630. I went to Kohl's which was beside Ross's (got some jewlery)
Finally around 710pm...we arrived in Seattle.
We drove by a music festival and then came across a parade that was about to begin. So we parked and started walking. we saw the beginning of the parade. This was all downtown..right by the Space Needle (that tower from the movie Sleepless...) We were STARVING! so we walked away from the parade and asked several ppl about good seafood restaurants. We finally just got fed up and walked into the first one that had seafood on their menu. Turns out it was phenomenal. Expensive, but exquisite!
By this point it was 930pm, we walk out of the restaurant and head back to the car. Lo and behold! the parade is still going on! and it was soo exciting! the floats! the music! awesome! We couldn't have planned it better!
We left Seattle at 11pm..this time it took us 2 hrs to get back home...plus the quick bathroom break and traffic at the boarder. We got home at 2am. Exhausted, but happy :)
What a good day :) so much accomplished :)
*wish you were here*
