Alan and I walked over to Seattle for a night and day to spend together a couple weekends ago. My sister babysat, such a great blessing! As most who have kids know, it is hard to get away for a night together. We don't go to the city often, and when we do, we have to plan super far ahead so we can be sure everything we want to do will work and is reserved (usually for the best prices). Here are some pictures of our day together.
The hotel
Early Saturday morning, before the Valentines Day Coffee Crawl. I am a little sleepy....the only bad thing about this great date was that I had strep throat and didn't exactly know it. I have never had it before, and I thought I was just getting a bad cold. Anyway, that night sleep didn't come easily, but I still had a great time on our outing :)
On Seattle's Coffee Crawl, 15 ppl are taken on a 2 hour, 1 1/2 mile walk around downtown Seattle visiting many many independent coffee shops (more than 200 coffee shops in downtown where we walked) and getting samples of their coffee, learning how coffee is grown and roasted. And for a special vday addition, we stopped at chocolate shops and samples amazing, expensive chocolate! Coffee's prefect companion...in my opinion.
Alan volunteered to hold the end of the group flag. How nice of him...and he got a surprise mug as a thank you! Prefect since we try to collect a coffee mug from our trips!
Me after some chocolate probably
He did not want to pose for this shot, but he had to do only nice things for his sick wife that day :)
Pretty waterfall in a secluded spot downtown

and this was how we looked on the way home and all the next day (the kids and I went to the DR that night and all tested positive for strep. everybody is well again now thankfully)

Looks like you guys had fun. I'm so glad everyone is better!
You didn't tell me about this fun trip yesterday! I'm so glad you and Alan got to have the weekend together - even though you weren't feeling well. It looks like you had a great time! I share your opinion that chocolate is the best companion for coffee, so any weekend that includes those yummy components along with the love of my life is a great weekend in my book! :)
