Wrapping Up the Bothell Trip...

With a little shopping in the Country Village and a nice brunch cruise. So we did alot of shopping on this Saturday. First we went to this cute little country village, which had a bunch of little vintage and antique shops and a couple restaurants amongst the chickens and ducks that roamed the village freely. There was a little shop called Paula's Pepper Jelly in a little boat on the little pond. We went a little crazy in this store. She had a lot of testers there (heehee!!) of the different jellys and barbeque sauces! Another shop was in a train caboose. There was even a trinket shop inside a windmill. There was a cute kids clothes store called Max and Bella's. They had the cutest clothes. They even had a little salon in the back with airplanes for the kids to sit in while they got their hair cut. We had the absolute best hot dogs at a little stand and then some sweets for dessert at Susan's Sweets. It was the most adorable little sweet shop. We went a little crazy there too. (I have pictures but we probably shouldn't expose those to the world! Lol) After that we headed off to what the local's call "the ave" oh that was after Lily got her second pulled pork sandwich from Caspers (the little BBQ shop I mentioned in my last post.) The Ave was so cool they had so much shopping there, every store imaginable! We wished we would have gotten there earlier because all the stores were getting close to closing by time we made it through the first few we had to try to run to the ones we really wanted to get through. We went home exhausted after pizza and woke up early on Sunday morning to go the Seattle for a brunch cruise. I dont have many pictures of the cruise because my batteries died. I was a little freaked out because i have an irrational fear of drowning to death even though I was on a massive boat I still was a little worried for the first part of the cruise. It was a blast all in all. Afterwards we stopped by Pikes Place Market after the mile high climb from the boat to the market. It was a pretty neat place I would definately go back there again. We spent probably a good 45 minutes in one of the many cheese shops :) Then we headed home satisfied with our delicous delectable and delightful weekend getaway! (We plan to start doing a weekend getaway once every year from now on!)

It's sounds like an awesome weekend. I loved Pike's Place Market, it was very interesting and I'd like to go back there sometime.
