Seattle Downtown Public Library



Gasworks




Thanks N, for this great shot :).


And as if this day wasn't amazing enough, we had the pleasure of meeting Rain and her son from Rainblissed.  So nice to meet and spend time with you Rain!!

Today is our last day, but we have another full day planned.  I won't be back in this space 'till Thursday as we'll be on the plane all day tomorrow.

Bittersweet, endings are... sad to leave but looking forward to catching up on all that's been missed...

much love

  1. So absolutely beautiful! You've got me longing for the west coast - only three weeks until we head to (our) west coast. Enjoy the moments in Seattle, the bittersweet of goodbyes and the joy of coming home! xo R

  5. Great pics! That butterfly dress is amazing. So...does the downtown seattle library have an coffee bar like the Santa Monica one does???? If not, they need to get one! I wish my public library would...

  9. What a beautiful city. One of my fave movies is Sleepless in Seattle. My only wish is that they showed more of Seattle in the movie.

    And you know, I thought I was the only one to travel far away just to visit the local library! The Vancouver Public library is pretty nice too. : )

    Safe travels,
    Andrea

  10. MJ, that butterfly dress actually made me gasp. Stunning! So are all your other photos. I love love love them. The Gasworks Parks pics are gorgeous too—the one of the three kids walking between the waters is just scrumptious.

    I used to live around the corner from Gasworks Park—we'd meet friends there regularly for Ultimate Frisbee. Now THAT brings me back…!

    I'm so glad you had such a great time, connecting with old friends and new. What a wonderful trip! "See" you back home, MJ :)

  11. Looks like you are all having a great time. Jairah saw the picture of the chillis and said "Oh yummy, eat". Perhaps not for him but I love chillis. Enjoy your last day. Jacinta

  13. I'm loving your pictures! Such beautiful colors. Isn't the downtown library amazing!? Have you been to the arboretum? I love it!

  14. wow, it all looks wonderful. Loved that fruit stall, it just made my mouth water! And those chillis - good enough to make a bouquet with.

    But that dress - the butterfly dress - it's just breathtakingly awesome.

    It certainly looks as though you all had the best times in Seattle (always been a place I would like to visit, maybe one day). Have a safe trip home and look forward to hearing from you again once you have found your feet
