Seattle Bound

On a snowy Wednesday morning, the 19th of December we set off for our overnight trip to Seattle.  As we drove the snow became heavy and thick and we were questioning ourselves as to whether or not we should continue on with our journey.  The roads were empty so onward we went.  As we neared the border and customs the snow let up and it became somewhat dry.

We quickly crossed the border and were truly on our way down to Seattle.  As we drove and passed by RV dealerships, signs advertising campgrounds and RV parks as well as Camping World, a store I've longed to visit since I discovered it my thoughts turned to me and my RV
 

As we approached Everett, the rain started and got heavier the closer we got to Seattle and so did the traffic that was moving at a snails pace.  But we made real good time as it only took us about two and a half hours to make the trip.  We arrived at the hotel very early, about five or six hours before check-in however they let us check-in early.

Seattle was wet for our visit but we still did our best to enjoy ourselves and our shopping which we did and completed all in one place - Pike Place Market.  I discovered Tenzing Momo where I picked up a book, magazine and some great incense.  My partner made purchases at Ed Newbold, Wildlife Artist and Raven's Nest Treasure.

Wednesday's dinner was had at the El Borracho Taqueria y Cantina.  We had our Thursday breakfast at Starbucks just around the corner from our hotel, Hotel Vintage Park before heading back home in the rain, ah such is winter in the Pacific Northwest.
