Seattle
















I traded a sunny spring break for a slightly more gloomy, rainy, cold week in Seattle…but it was worth it! Seattle is an amazing city. It is ecclectic, to say the least, and there is no city like it. It is a big city with tall buildings, but you can walk a block and find a park, lake, or bike path full of people running, walking, biking, or even rollerblading with hiking poles! There are artsy little finds, every kind of ethnic food possible, hundreds of bookstores, and even more bakeries…if it weren’t for the cold and the big city feel, it might just be a future home for me. But alas, the lack of sun and the low temperatures just aren’t my cup of tea.
Nonetheless, I loved Seattle, walking/wandering/getting lost, enjoying great company with friends, meeting new people, and tasting some great food and baked goods! The warm bakeries, creaking wood floors, and smells of fresh bread only served as a reminder of my passion and desire to one day own a bakery…
