Our annual trip to Seattle...

Here we are again- the end of the summer and home from Seattle! We had a fabulous time, and already talking about next year! I think that is a sign of a great trip! Seattle is where my heart is...I live in Idaho, but absolutely LOVE Seattle. No, I don't think I could go back to live, but definitely visit! I decided to make a top 10 list of the things I love about visiting Seattle...


10. The restaurants! There are places to eat in Idaho- but not near the amount of GREAT ones!


9. Taco Time- Yep- it deserves one all by itself... I ate Taco Time 3 times while visiting!


8. The Woodland Park Zoo- that is amazing!! It is a little like Disneyland- it could take you 3 days to do the whole thing!


7. The Beaches... the amount of water from oceans, lakes, bays, rivers is endless! I love it!


6. The professional sports teams...Marniers, Seahawks, Sounders- they have it all (or almost all!)


5.The Shopping...it is amazing!


4.Issaquah... truly where my heart is! When I go to Issaquah, I am filled with emotions- ones I can't describe. Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. I just love that quaint little (well it once was little) town!


3. The weather...I can say that because I don't live there- but a sunny day in Seattle is the prettiest site ever! I could even stand the rain for a while to experience a sunny day in Seattle!


2. The Trees- they are everywhere and everything is GREEN! Brown is not an option!


1. My friends and family- Seattle wouldn't be anything without my wonderful high school friends and my family that lives there! They truly make Seattle everything I love! Every year, my high school friends go to dinner- we have a wonderful time and it makes me look forward to the next! I love you all!

I'm so glad you had a good time! But I'm curious...what is it about the Taco Time there that is better than the one here?

Kelly-
There is just something different... their sauce and meat are different. It is weird- but true!!:) If you ever have the chance to visit, you should try it!
