What I Bought in Seattle, Souvenirs for Ourselves

      My husband and I traveled Seattle this year, and we bought some souvenirs for ourselves there. I'm going to share what we bought there with you. :)

     While we were walking around Pike Place Market, we found this beautiful clear plastic fridge magnet there. The landscape of Pike Place Market was pictured on this magnet. The magnet reminds me of our traveling there.

           By the way, these are photos I took at Pike Place Market that day.

         At the Original Starbucks, we bought these three exclusive mugs. These mugs are only available at this first Starbucks, where Starbucks started.

       This First Starbucks Store Mug was made in U.S.A. It has the Starbucks original brown logo.

       Because we've been collecting Starbucks You Are Here mugs, we really wanted to get this Pike Place Market mug! :)))

        At Boeing Factory tour, we watched partly-assembled airplanes, Boeing 747, 777, and 787. Then, we bought this fridge magnet of Boeing 787 at their gift shop.

       We bought this Boeing mouse pad, which is something I use every day.

      We also bought this Boeing navy blue t-shirt. :))

       This Boeing fleece blanket was very handy and warmed me up at Kerry Park during watching the night views of Downtown Seattle skyline. :)))

        At Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room, we found this Starbucks Reserve copper stainless coffee scoop, which is only available at this store. We've used this shiny coffee scoop every day since we came back from Seattle. :)

       If the truth be told, we bought this Starbucks silver stainless coffee scoop, which is right in this picture, a year ago and really loved it too. However, we mainly use the copper one now. :)  The silver stainless one was selling at many Starbucks branches back then, but now this was no longer available at Starbucks. You can only find one at Amazon. As you might know, most Starbucks merchandise is exclusive for only limited time.

      At EMP Museum we bought this guitar fridge magnet because we were impressed at the sculpture of a great number of guitars there.

        At the gift shop in Space Needle, we bought this Seattle skyline fridge magnet.

View of Snow Capped Mountain Landscape from Airplane - Traveling Seattle, Day 3 - 5/5

        After leaving from Serious Pie, a pizza restaurant on Capitol Hill, we finally arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

       After the airplane took off, we enjoyed watching the beautiful views of clouds from an airplane window. We took some pictures with our camera, Canon EOS SL1.

        We stayed in Seattle only for three days, but we were able to visit more places than we expected. We really enjoyed traveling the beautiful city of Seattle. :) I don't know when we will have a chance to visit Seattle, but we hope to travel there again!

        I'll write about what we bought in Seattle next time. :)

Serious Pie on Capitol Hill - Traveling Seattle, Day 3 - 4/5

        My husband and I traveled Seattle during Memorial Day Weekend. On the last day of our traveling Seattle, we visited EMP Museum, Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass. We still had a time until our flight, so we decided to have lunch at Serious Pie, which is located in the same building as Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room. We actually went to this Starbucks Roastery on the previous day, but he told me that we should go to Serious Pie because it was one of the most highly rated restaurants in Seattle. Anyway, we were glad to come back on the Capitol Hill again. :)))

       We ordered this kale salad for $13. Even though we frequently have homemade kale smoothie at home, we had never had kale salad before. I was surprised that it wasn't as bitter as I expected and really loved this salad! It had a little spice and plenty of Parmesan cheese on fresh kale. After coming back from Seattle, I sometimes make kale salad at home. :)  

       We also ordered this crispy pizza for $17. It was also good! It was definitely the best pizza we've had in years.

       I also loved their decor. I thought the ceiling lights of this restaurant were very stylish.

      You can see this restaurant from Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room. By the way, these colorful Starbucks Reserve mugs were only available at this store.

Chihuly Garden and Glass - Traveling Seattle, Day 3 - 3/5

      My husband and I went to Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle on May 25. We bought the tickets online to save a few dollars. Even though at first I thought that the admission fee, which was $22 per person, was still expensive, we ended up being really satisfied with the price we paid for it. This place was so beautiful! :) They allow people to take pictures, so I'm going to share photos of the beautiful glass arts with you.

      Frankly, we are not people who are really into art and museum, but we fell in love with this place and would like to visit there again if we have a chance. :)  It must be beautiful at night time too!  If you are planning on visiting Seattle, you should go to this place!

      After visiting Chihuly Garden and Glass, we still had a time until our flight. That's why we decided to go to Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room to have lunch there. I will write about it next time.
