why i love seattle.

One of the things that i really love about living in seattle is the fact that a break here can turn into bus adventures! While most college students just leave campus and go to fast food or a park or something. I can take a speedy little bus to downtown and hang out at pikes place or check out the international district. I am constantly amazed by the realization that i live here.

So today was one of those days when a break was so necessary. So when my friend said she had to run so errands downtown i said "sure, i have a bus pass and do need a break." The first, and most notable, stop was a mere 5 minutes down the 13 into queen anne. We stopped at this cupcake shop called Wink. Its probably one of my favorite finds so far. And we were in luck because we happen to hit it during "happy hour!" A frosting filled 2 hours of buy 1 get 1 free. So we put our heads together and realized there are 2 of us, 4 different kinds of cupcakes and we can get 2 for free. Ya! for 3$ i enjoyed half of 4 different cupcakes. Feeling only slightly nauseous and hoping i didnt get bus sick, we continued our journey to downtown.


the rest of the trip was about finding her new shoes and buying books. It was lovely.
