Back in end of July, Tanner and I decided to hop on the ferry and make a one night trip getaway to Seattle. We stayed at the cutest little Airbnb in West Seattle, and honestly took it pretty easy on our little trip.
We woke up bright and early Sunday morning after 2 hours of sleep and made our way to the ferry. Tanner paid for us to go in the Seawest Lounge, which I had never been in before, and it was such a fun experience! Free coffee, pastries, and fruit? I'm in! After a quick 2 hour boat ride, we drove through the border to the States and were on our way!
It was my first time driving in the US, and I was a little nervous about the huge interstates, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Minus the one incident where I turned down a "do not enter" exit, I think I managed Seattle driving pretty well.
When we first got into Seattle, we stopped in at The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. We just so happened to stumble in on National Cheesecake Day, so after lunch, we grabbed some cheesecake to go and got terribly lost for an hour before finally arriving at our Airbnb.
We took some naps, showered, then made our way into the city for dinner and some wandering.
We watched the sunset from Kerry Park, where we witnessed a proposal, and stood in awe of the setting sun. I understand why it's such a popular sunset destination because it was absolutely glorious with the city skyline and Mount Rainier shining in the warm sunset glow.
Later, after the sun set, we went up the Space Needle and saw the city lights sparkling against the dark night sky.
The next day we attempted to go to Pike Place, but we were tired and ready to get home and the parking costs were atrocious, so we snapped a couple shots before getting back on the interstate and making our way back to Canada.
It was the perfect little getaway. The more I visit Seattle, the more I fall in love with it. It's such a beautiful city and I'm so glad it's so close to home.
