Hello Again, Seattle

Early yesterday morning, I flew from my home in Atlanta, GA, to visit one of my very best friends, Anica, who's currently living in Washington.

I lived near Seattle from the age of 1-8, and on my 8th birthday, we moved to Georgia. I've never really had an attachment to my childhood...so flying in yesterday, I was overcome with nostalgia. I just have little memories of seeing the skyline and the city...it's more beautiful than I remember. :) At some point this weekend I plan to find the first two homes I really have memories in. I can't even imagine what that will feel like, after 15 years.

I came in around noon and Anica took me to a little diner for lunch. We spent time exploring the shops in the U-District. There was this way adorable shop called RedLight that had vintage clothing separated out by decade! We also poked around in Buffalo Exchange, Goodwill, Urban, and American Apparel. We mostly "window shopped", but I picked up a couple little things. :) And of course, we grabbed some Starbucks.

Here are a couple pictures from yesterday:


Today, we are going to Pike's Place and West Seattle. :) More pictures coming soon! If you've been to Seattle, what was your favorite thing to do//place to visit??
