Seattle Wine Touring 2011

We signed up for the wine tour again.  It was good and we purchased more wine to bring home.  We went to most of the same wineries and a few new ones.  Chateau St. Michelle was good as before.  The other places had some good wine and this time, we just purchased by the glass what we wanted.  That was more fun and to our speed.

In Pioneer Square, here's some pictures of fun stuff and our two most expensive stores.

Seattle 2011 Tour completed

We decided to go to Seattle again because we weren't able to fully see everything we wanted last year.  This was a quick trip as I'm still Gold status on Delta.  We put the trip together quickly.  We were lucky with good weather.  We walked all over and were able to see the sites we weren't able to last time.  Here are some of the places was went to ~ Sculpture park, downtown, Pike's Market, Chinatown and Pioneer Square.  We also really wanted to give Brian a chance to be fitted at the Utilikilt store.  We went a couple of times and purchased two more kilts.  It was great.  Next door was a great store where I purchased my first corset.  Awesome!

Seattle Gourmet Food Tour

The second food tour was the "gourmet" one.  I didn't like it as much as Pike's Market but the tour guide was still great.  He wore a kilt!

The pizza here was really tasty.  They canned many veggies and used it as decoration all over the restaurant.

There was some amazing truffle oils at this Italian specialty store.  I purchased several little ones and truffle salt.  The lemon curd was amazing.

 The most gross and unhygienic alley on the way to the Pike Brewing Co.  People covered it with chewed gum.

Food at the brewery

We went to the Four Seasons Hotel which was amazing.  The food was pretty good and the hotel was lovely. 

The Buffet!

This is the last stop at the Gelato place.  It was delicious!

Seattle Mt. Rainier

The beaver is almost done.

This was the nicest fox I've ever seen.  It came right up to us, begging for food.  I felt so bad.  I wanted to feed the little guy.
