After our dinner @ Maneki’s, we drove around Seattle to sightsee at night.
Which resulted in me driving across the Roosevelt Bridge no less than 3 times, slapping each other with our newly invented game of Starbucks-Slap, and checking out ANOTHER grocery store called QFC. Prior to hitting the sack, we headed back up towards the Fremont neighborhood to indulge in this new cafe called “Pie.” It served… pies… All sorts of mini pies! We each selected a key lime and we split the blueberry. MMMMMmmmm… Delicious! They had all sorts of pies… savory pies to sweet ones. Mac and cheese filled ones to peanut butter and jelly!
Fresh pies in hand, we went back to our room for the evening. We managed to do a lot considering that we landed at 12:30!
We were greeted with a lovely view from the room.
We woke up in the morning, had a quick snack of the pies from the night before and headed out to Pike Place Market. Where I proceeded to show an idiot tourist not to mess with this Asian driver! I was waiting for a spot and was backing into it when he flipped a U to try to steal it out from me. I laid on the horn. I also ended up with the spot. 😀
We jumpstarted Jenn w/ a lovely Latte from the first Starbucks.
And then proceeded to eat our way around Pike Place Market… Including Beecher’s Homemade Cheese for cheese curds and breadztels, Piroshky Piroshky, and if space permitted, we nearly ordered ourselves a baguette from a French bakery to gnaw on.
We bid adieu to Pike Place Market (Rachel was still in the Piggy ICU since she was ran over by a taxi a few weeks ago) and drove down towards the waterfront. While walking along, we came across this random car. So I proceeded to take a picture. I wonder if anyone ever Googles “Flamingo Car…”
Please note that the proud owner of the flamingo car is eagerly waving at us.
We proceeded along and checked out Elliot’s Oyster bar where we indulged ourselves and splurged on oysters.
They were amazing amazing beautiful little oysters. Waaaaaay better than the ones I’ve had here. Point Reyes has nothing on these oysters. Seattle Oysters… hand’s down the best ones I’ve had!
Post-oysters, we walked back over to Ivar’s and finished up our trip of food.
I heart Ivar’s. The fish and chips were amazing… so was the chowder. I’m missing Ivar’s again already. *sigh*
Unfortunately it was coming up on our flight so we had to make it back to Westin (thank you for the complimentary 2PM late check out!) packed up the rental car, returned it and hopped on our flight back home.
We’re already thinking about the next trip to take. Until next time…
