Weekend Stops

What a great Halloween weekend.  Sigh...
 

A sunny Friday at Golden Gardens

We headed west last Thursday and spent a long three days in Seattle for a friend's wedding (at the beautiful Arctic Club), and also managed to patronize a number of my favorite Seattle foodie haunts.  Yummm.

I don't miss everything about Seattle, but the diversity of food, restaurants, businesses and retail in general does not compare in the slightest to Baltimore.  

Needless to say, I loved being back... even if just for a few days. 

We managed to pop in at THE DISH, MIRO TEA, ESSENTIAL BAKING CO., A PIZZA MART, HERKIMER, VIVACE, VOXX COFFEE, 24 CARROT, THAI TOM, and PORTAGE BAY CAFE.
