We stayed at the Crowne Plaza, in the heart of downtown Seattle. Because I am a member of the very exclusive rewards club (not really that exclusive; any club that would have me as a member, etc.) our room got upgraded to one of the top club floors - we even had to use our key in elevator to get to our floor! Super fancy! It also came with a cocktail hour and complimentary breakfast buffet! And the view from our room was amazing - we could even see the Space Needle and the ocean!
Upon arriving, we had dinner at Hattie's Hat in Ballard. I had a really yummy Voodoo Burger with pico de gallo on it, plus a drink called Bill Murray! It's their #1 best selling drink; I can only assume because it's called Bill Murray, and who doesn't like Bill Murray? Nobody, that's who. It consisted of bourbon, amaretto, and probably Bill Murray's actual blood.Last time we were in town, we didn't have enough time to go to the Space Needle, so I really wanted to go this time, to add it to my list of towers I have been in. We got all the way there, only to find out that the next available time to go to the top was 3 hours later! No, thank you. Whatever, we got some great pictures from the bottom anyway.
While the boyfriend was working at his business job, I went to check out the Nordstrom Flagship, mere blocks from our hotel downtown. I believe it's the first Nordstrom ever, but don't quote me on that. It was 5 floors of shopping goodness! I checked out every single floor, and even went across the street to the Nordstrom Rack! Our one checked bag was already packed full, so all I could buy were some socks and underwear!
Later on, we went to Pike Place Market, which was surprisingly packed for a Monday afternoon. Don't you guys have jobs? We went directly from there to the airport, back to our home in LA! What a wild 25 hour trip!
