We just returned home from a month in Seattle, visiting with family and friends. It was an amazing trip. I am already missing so many things from home: my mom and her home, the copious amounts of comfort food, the convenience culture (overnight grocery delivery, 6 hour dry-cleaning, Starbucks drive thru, Thai food delivery, ready-made food bar at Whole Foods), online shopping and shopping at Bellevue Square, Quiltworks Northwest and my sewing machine, our friends, etc. Here are a few of the highlights from Seattle:
 |
| We arrived in time to celebrate Christmas with my mom. |
 |
| Meanwhile, my mom dressed up Roc as Santa Claus. She is radiant, overflowing with happiness that we were there. |
 |
| We had an impromptu BWC reunion brunch at Cafe Flora on Madison. Good times with wonderful friends. |
 |
| We supported the Seattle Seahawks during the playoffs. #12thman |
 |
| The mandatory Starbucks run – in Seahawks gear for our 12¢ brewed coffee. |
 |
| Our dear Tara flew in from New York. This is her meeting Roc. |
 |
| We got to see the lovely Mona for the first time in a year and a half! |
 |
| Kilian and I shared some quality time. |
 |
| We visited with longtime friends from the Seattle Baha'i community. We saw many more and of course forgot to take photos. We missed out a number more because of time constraints. |
 |
| Roc had play dates with his baby friends. |
 |
| We took naps when necessary. |
 |
| Roc's great-grandmother and great-grandfather visited too, it was so beautiful to see. |
 |
| Roc's great-great-aunt Peggy had a lot of fun with him. |
 |
| We saw Mount Rainier and finally had a family photo taken. |
 |
| We went to the park when the weather allowed (Kerry Park on Queen Anne). |
 |
| We celebrated my 28th birthday in style - brunch at Tilth Restaurant in Wallingford, a favorite of mine. |
 |
| We had a house full of family and friends for my birthday dinner. |
