Seattle Moments!

A magical weekend ends for me, but I have lots to share! I am convinced that there is no city as stunning as Seattle on a gorgeous day! As a family we love to drive around the city, and thats exactly what we did on Saturday. Queen Anne Hill is my favorite spot in the city. This is where Seattle's amazing beauty comes alive..................

The stately mansions, the winding streets, the views of downtown dominated by Space Needle, and if you are lucky, Mt Ranier! On Queen Anne Hill there is a small patch of land called Kerry Park. Here is where you can get truly iconic views of Seattle. I walked up and down the streets clicking pictures in an attempt to capture this perfect day.

The views took my breath away......it was almost as if I saw the city for the first time.


To add to the beauty of the day, I watched a newly maried couple drive away in a stunning white Rolls Royce....sigh!!

The flowers blooming are another story for another day, but here's a preview :-)


I hope you all enjoyed your brief visit of Seattle in the summer :-)

I am joining Mosaic Mondays at the lovely Little Red House.

A day in the country

As family we love the outdoors. There are so many gorgeous places around Seattle. I could spend a lifetime exploring them all. There is one such hidden jewel close to home, and I absolutely love it. The Country Village in Bothell is a quaint place for a lot of family fun. Spring is a gorgeous time to spend a day there. Train rides, flowers in bloom, roosters and ducks, lovely stores, little cafes it has it all. Here are a few pictures from our trip to the village. My two toddlers were giddy with excitement as there was so much for them to do :-)

Do visit the Little Red House for some great inspiration and lovely mosaics!
