seattle

This past weekend I flew to Seattle for an all girls reunion weekend. Despite a little weather related drama getting out (my flight was cancelled due to the storm, and I was forced to fly out of Rochester), I made it to the west coast with adrenaline flowing and a smile on my face. My how I have missed these ladies. Having lived within blocks of each other in the marina district of San Francisco for so many years, it's crazy to think how spread out we all are now. You'd never feel the distance seeing us together now, we haven't skipped a beat.

Krisite and her husband recently moved to Seattle from Philadelphia. She lives in the neighborhood of Magnolia, with picturesque houses, stunning views, and killer hills- all within a 10 minute drive of downtown. Here's the view from her deck. Can you see the space needle? Gorgeous.

Walking around Magnolia. Look at that sunshine!

With her hubs out of town, she hosted all five of us in her sprawling abode for the entire weekend. Thank you, Kristie! We cooked (I watched), shopped, had a few fancy meals out, and played a little tourist. Most of all we spent hours just catching up. Bliss.

We even had time to recreate my surprise Seattle proposal on the rooftop of the Inn at the Market, a chic boutique hotel right in the heart of Pike's Place market.

Here's the outside of the hotel..

The hallway leading to the hotel's private rooftop. Six years ago I had no idea what was about to happen...

Stepping out on this rooftop felt amazing. Matt proposed a week before Christmas, with a foot of snow on the ground, and under a veil of twinkle lights. In a word, this rooftop was magic. 

Locating 'the spot'...

Overlooking the Puget Sound, I said YES all over again!

Thank you ladies, for helping me recreate this special moment. What a fabulous weekend. Miss and love you all.

Time to head home. Some little guy is waiting for me...
