seattle: first visit

 {pike place market}

a couple of weeks ago husband had one of his occassional "off-days" & we decided to spend the afternoon in seattle. that was my first time in the city & i immediately fell in love.

i can really appreciate city-life. like, i would be able to live the city life. first thing i noticed & felt when we started to walk around was the cleanliness. i mean... these people really take care of this city. 

anyway, we only saw a super small part of seattle but that's okay because i plan on going back.

{beecher's: amazing cheese selection!}

{truffle cheese from beecher's equals deliciousness}

{cheese + vino = heaven}

tulip festival #3

hi! final tulip fest post. promise.

the picture below, the lone ranger, was a full field the week prior to me being there. 

the fields filled with rows & rows of tulips were my favorite.

 each row looks like it goes on forever into the horizon. 

every row is perfectly lined, every tulip stands up perfectly straight. 

barn envy

these pictures were taken mostly for my husband. 

he has huge plans for the barn of his dreams. he wants a barn so bad that he'd be happy living in it.

i'm sure he wants a practical barn that is fully functioning for all of his "guy" needs. blah, blah, blah

me? i can apreesh a beautiful old barn sitting quietly out in an open field. 

so, here ya go husband, my inspiration for your barn...

tacoma, wa: legendary doughnuts

{2602 6th ave}

this place, legendary doughnuts, definitely lives up to its name. i could not believe it when i walked in!

they have everything in a doughnut that you could ever dream up. 

doughnuts with a ton of toppings, drizzles, flavors, stuffed doughnuts, raised doughnuts, filled doughnuts, doughnut cakes. literally a million doughnut type things to choose from. and they all looked amazing. but, since we couldn't take home one of everything, we chose a couple to start with. i plan on going down the menu over the next few months. 

{caramel sea salt pretzel}

we tried the caramel sea salt pretzel which is a huge glazed doughnut folded in the shape of a pretzel drizzled with caramel & sprinkles of sea salt. talk about heaven in your mouth. 

calories? what are those?

we tried the carrot cake doughnut as well- also amazing.  

if you like doughnuts, go,
