Childless in Seattle

Last year my friends Amy, Shannon & I started what we hope to be an annual trip to Seattle, well, Bellevue actually. This year, we decided to invite our husbands along, sans kids! We had an absolute blast!

We all met up in Bellevue at the Hyatt on Saturday around noon. Lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, followed by shopping for the girls and sports bar lounging for the boys. Hotel check-in was at 4 ish and we hung out in the adjoining rooms until dinner. We had a great dinner at Palimino's, right down the street. The best part of this trip was from the moment we got there, until the moment we checked-out, we didn't drive
anywhere. There is so much to do that is within walking distance, that you can just park your car in the parking garage and stroll everywhere you need to go.

Anyway, after dinner we hit a few bars that had live music, danced a little and just enjoyed being silly and having no responsibilities (aka: children).

Sunday morning we slept in until almost 1
0:00am! A rare luxury when you have small children. We hit PF Chang's for lunch, shopped a tiny bit and then hit the road for home. Thanks for the wonderful time my dear friends! Love you all!
