We spent one day at Pike's Market, an amazing marketplace and the site of the very first Starbuck's. :) It was busy and fragrant and colorful, full of food and people and creativity. It was right on the riverfront and the weather was perfect! I might add that we walked down a steep hill to get there and going up said hill on the return, not so much fun, but well-worth it!

| Getting a new hair apparatus. |
 |
| All the big girls got one and we needed only one demonstration for our "resident beauty consultant" (pictured) to have it figured out for future use! :) |
 |
| Lunch at Beecher's ... handmade cheese ... and homemade onion soup, and homemade grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade bread. SO DELICIOUS! |
 |
| And, for entertainment, you could watch the whole cheese making process while you ate. |
 |
| Flowers! |
 |
Isn't that just gorgeous? Doesn't it make you hungry? Me, too!
I'm thinking if we lived here, I would be a regular at this market! |
 |
| 'Nuff said. |
 |
| I seriously could have eaten my weight in smoked salmon (which this is not a picture of) and the girls loved it, too. Almost shipped a ton home, but alas it wouldn't be so yummy once we got home to it. |
 |
| Sweet peas. |
 |
| We did buy our weight in fruit at this place ... cheeries (that were gone almost before we got up the hill), the juiciest peaches, nectarines, raspberries, and a very strange melon that was so yummy! Needless to say, over the next couple days, none of the fruit went to waste! :) |
