Best Day Ever

Yesterday was the best day EVER.  Each year around this time, my daughter Stephanie and I have a day together.  Not just a regular day, but a shopping and girl fun day.  We call it our mother daughter day.  Time together to do as we please, eat what we want, play dress up and just enjoy each other.  Two years in a row now, we have spent our day in Seattle.  Seattle is the best city as far as I am concerned.  It is so beautiful, so full of life, colors, noise, excitement, weird people and interesting nooks and crannies.  We usually park at the Seattle Center and take the monorail down town.  There is currently an Angry Bird on the Space Needle. Cool.

This year instead of heading to Pike Place Market, we explored new territory.  We followed 5th Avenue and came across this shop, Anthropologie.

Inside, I found the BEST HUTCH EVER.  For only $18,000.00, it can be mine.  Once we build a room on onto our house just to house it. 

People watching from the second floor.  I could spend hours doing this.  There is always someone talking to themselves.  Highly entertaining.

Next noteworthy stop- the Seattle Public Library.  What a place of beauty! It feels like a giant sunroom filled with secret passageways and long narrow corridors that lead us into a meandering maze of room after room and floor after floor of information, all accessible.  Except for the fancy Seattle section, which was under lock and key until 1:00 PM, and we were not going to wait around for an hour to get in.  Another time, though.

One of two tall slim escalators that carried us to the top.

A view from above into one of those secret number pad locked room.  Is this where we access The Matrix?

Looking down from the top floor to the bottom floor.  Those are bookshelves down there.

This place was my favorite stop of the day.  There must have been 1000 computers.  Definitely a must see in Seattle.

Next stop- The Fisherman's restaurant. 

We were being entertained by the fact that the dock that the restaurant sits on was being disassembled right outside the window.

See that man out there on the wooden beam?  He was roping a chain around the beam to have it hauled away by the crane.  He is balancing on that beam, by the way, and everything around him was swaying with the current of the Puget Sound, directly below.  I would've fallen in.

Hmmm, good to know.

Portal of the day, in Post Alley.

Steph hadn't ever seen the gum wall.

She added her own, with a smile.  See it?

The sun was really warm, it felt so nice.  We stopped to soak it up.  Lucky for us, being in Seattle and surrounded by sky rises, this location in the photo had NO WIND.  It was perfect.

Aaaah. ☼

We stopped at Macys specifically to see the Ladies Lounge.  It's the largest women's restroom I have ever seen.  We decided to try on some dresses that we couldn't afford.  Steph fell in love with this one,  I think it was $160.00ish.

I fell in love with this one, it was $135.00.  At least I have this photo. :)

We have always wanted to play on a Tempurpedic mattress. So we did.  (Push button) up.....up....down.......down......  These beds are so expensive- almost $4000.00.  Neat though, and they do feel great!  If you moms have a daughter, take a day out just for her.  Happy Sunday!♥♥♥

Song for today is this street musician, sorry I don't know his name.  I have seen him downtown before, but not yesterday.  It's pretty fun, though. ♫
