What I learned on my trip to Seattle

seattle!

  1. The standards for Seattle coffee are so high that even Starbucks tastes better there.
  2. The early settlers accidentally built all of their gift shops underground.
  3. Two miles feels like 22 when it is all uphill.
  4. Mel Brooks has another big hit on his hands.
  5. Crumpets taste better by the water.
  6. Ditto cupcakes, ham & eggs, beer, coconut pie, and everything on the menu at Etta’s.
  7. If I lived there, I would have two muffin tops.
  8. From across the room, in glasses and pigtails, I am Decoy Megan Mullally.
  9. The ride to Bainbridge beats the island itself, hands down.
  10. I still like Portland best.

  1. Beer and cupcakes, my kind of meal….while on vacation of course!
    Come on Ms. Colleen, give up some good places in New York to find such pleasures.

    And please, lets not talk about the muffin tops as I will no doubt come back with a couple myself after my vacation…..hey wait, a good ole fashion roll in the hey will take care of that.

  2. You went to Seattle… and went to Starbucks?

  3. Ha…nice picture. Very in the moment. You take it yourself, cameo-style?

    “You went to Seattle… and went to Starbucks?”

    Neil, the communicatrix enjoys being silently judged by strangers.

  5. You had me at ‘coconut pie’…

  6. I had to Google “muffin top” and I’m so glad that I did. Another learning experience promoted by the Communicatrix!

    Ironically, we think there is a muffin top epidemic here, and we jokingly blame it on the latte’s. My friends and I actually claim that Seattle is “the muffin top capitol of the world.”
