Seattle Recap

 photo 9453D1F2-D0C0-422B-9756-2C3A3A38DCC0.jpg At the beginning of the month, we spent a week in Seattle because my little brother was getting married. I still can't believe that it's actually over, since I feel like we've been talking about it forever!

Seattle is one of my favorite places in the country.  Everything is so green and lush and the people are so friendly....my mom always jokes that it's a city of robots because everything is just a little bit "too perfect."

Since we were there for so long, there were so many things that we were able to do and I took SO many photos.  I'm not going to upload all of them since it would take forever, but here are a few of my favorites that highlight some of the best things that we did on our trip.

Had the most amazing brunch at Salty's (which is where Nick & Chip got married!)

Took a day trip to Mt. Rainier. It was SO FOGGY and cold that we couldn't see the mountain, but it was still so much fun. It was about a 2.5 hour drive from Seattle proper, and if you take a vacation to Seattle and want to venture to Mt. Rainier, I highly recommend booking a tour through Tours Northwest. They picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the mountain, making a bunch of stops at some awesome hiking trails.

It was an absolute perfect week and I am so happy that I was able to be there for my brother and Chip.  Love you both so much!
