I went to Seattle again this weekend, this time with my friend KJ. The purpose of the trip was to visit with her friend Tim who was contributing to an art show put on by those receiving their BFAs. After the art show, we met my friend KP and his friend Dave for dinner at Boom Noodle just before heading to the party held in Tim's honor.
KJ and I stayed at the Ace Hotel. We had a cute, small room with what appeared to be an airplane sink in the bathroom, but was otherwise quite livable. The hotel is located on First St in Belltown. Our hotel, being of very close proximity to Downtown, gave us exactly what we were hoping for: Seattle experience.
For Sunday breakfast, we found a nice little eatery, Bacco, where we consumed egg sandwiches on croissant rolls. They were delicious and it set us up for the rest of the day. After breakfast we stopped off at a fragrance store where I think I may have found the perfume I've been looking for. We then walked up to the big mall where one can find Barney's of New York, which we do not have in Portland. There, I sampled my first pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes. I have resisted the urge to try them on because I knew the inevitable would happen and I would rationalize with myself how to obtain a pair of these shoes. (No. I did not buy a pair...but, oh.)
Finally we meandered down to Pike Street Market where we obtained Piroshki, which is a Russian sort of pastry. I bought a few varieties because half are for my sister. We took a break down by the waterfront and enjoyed the brief interlude of sunlight before heading back to the car and returning to Portland. When we got home, we went to Cafe Castagna, where KJ's fiance works and ate a delicious hamburger and Caesar salad.

Jealous. Sounds like much more fun than my weekend of painting, painting, and more painting.
OOH Yeah!
I expect to hear all about it!
