North West Pacific Trip

We just got back from our trip to Seattle, Washington it was a blast! While we were there we also went to Vancouver and Victoria B.C. It was great to see all the sites that I have never seen before.

Places in Seattle that were great to visit:
On the first day in Seattle we went to Pike Place Market. It was wonderful, you could get anything that you want there. We also went to the aquarium in Seattle that was great. While we were at the aquarium we bought these city passes that were 60 dollars each and gave us access to many different sites in Seattle. I would definitely recommend buying this if you are ever in Seattle. Some of the sites it included were the zoo, two visits to the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Aquarium, a harbour tour and the EMP. All of these sites were amazing, there very typical Seattle sites. We also went and walked around the University of Washington. The campus was beautiful, a lot of the buildings were old and had wonderful architecture.

Restaurants in Seattle:
We ate at many different places while we were in Seattle. Seattle has a wonderful variety of restaurants that are super yummy. Lowell's a breakfast place with in the Pike Place Market, was wonderful. The restaurant had a water view from the top floor. The restaurant can become busy so just be prepared to stake down a table. When we first arrived we decided to go down to the waterfront and eat at Ivar's. Ivar's serves northwest cuisine, such as seafood. The seafood was very yummy, fresh and local. All the things that I love when trying out new things in a new city. I would also recommend going to the Pike Place Brewery, also located in the Pike Place Market. The brewery was very good food wise, but even better in beer. I got a sampler of beer and loved almost everyone. All of the beers are local to Washington State. For breakfast most days we went to a popular local doughnut place called Top Pot Doughnuts. The doughnuts there are very light and yummy. While we were visiting the University of Washington, we started to get hungry and decided to eat at a Mediterranean restaurant near campus. The restaurant is very yummy and best of all super cheap! Which of course by that time we were starting to get tired of spending money, so the fact that it was cheap made the food taste that much better. On one of our last nights in Seattle we ate a Thai restaurant in the downtown area called Wild Ginger. They served there food family style, which was great since Thomas and I love to order things and share them. All the food was very good, spicy and delicious. We'll just say that by the time we left I looked as if I had a food baby!

Places to visit in Vancouver, B.C.

While we were in Vancouver we decided to walk around the city most of the time while we were there. While we were walking downtown we walked by Chinatown, Gastown and the water. We also walked along the English Bay and hiked in Stanley Park.

Places we visited in Victoria B.C.
Victoria is more of a smaller tourist town. We saw the Royal Museum of B.C., we went and saw a real castle, and the Parliament building. We walked all over Victoria and saw many beautiful places.

Restaurants in Victoria:

A few places I loved to eat at Victoria is this small waffle shop, there I ate a Belgian waffle with ice cream it was super yummy! We also at at a fry shop which was really yummy too. Both of these places were in the Market in downtown Victoria. The day we spent there was a lot of fun and full filling.
