Even though I abhor spending money, I figure that money spent on a getaway is cheaper than marriage counseling. And heaven knows, Phil and I need a getaway every now and then, especially after a month of strep, full body rashes, the flu, etc.
So I searched and searched for a last-minute deal and found one! We stayed in the nicest hotel I have stayed in, ever...the Grand Hyatt in downtown Seattle. (just look at the beautifulness of it!)
The bathroom was as big as our entire room...
We drank lots of Starbucks.
We also ate at Mama's Mexican restaurant, which is the best Mexican food I have ever eaten...including food that I ate in Mexico. I first went there when I was 12 years old, but since then, couldn't find it again. Imagine my absolute delight when I saw it online when I was looking for coupons (remember, I abhor spending money). There was no coupon, but it was worth every penny.
More Starbucks...mmmmm....coffee.
I am pretty sure it is an unspoken rule that you must drink lots of Starbucks when you are visiting the actual birthplace of heaven in a cup. And I am nothing, if not a rule follower.
Look at the day we had...
And the food we ate...

Yes it was worth every penny.
I love you friend. I'm so glad that you got time with Phil . . . I need to be better about doing that! (with Derek - not Phil). Love you so much. Miss you.
