Remember that time, earlier this year, when I drove my sister from Los Angeles to Seattle?
Remember… it was that time I ate my weight in Chex Mix and strawberry cheesecake.
Well! I’m headed back up to Seattle this week! There will be some serious sister time… and I’m dragging my Mom along too. I think we’re going to laugh for three straight days… then be on each other’s nerves for a day and a half. It happens that way sometimes.
Plans include: introducing my mom and sister to The Bachelorette tonight, drinking more coffee than necessary at every possible moment, hugging my sister’s head, meeting her new kitty Charlesbear and…. I dunno… do you wanna hang out? I’ll be at Top Pot… every Top Pot I can find. I’ll be the girl with a giant doughnut in my face. Keep your eyes peeled for that.

Two years living in Seattle and still have never had a Top Pot doughnut. I guess I’m still stuck on the Trophy Cupcakes bandwagon, oohh, and Molly Moon’s ice cream – heaven.
Amy
I live on the “other” side of the lake from Seattle, but it’s cool over here too! I second the reccomendation for Molly Moon’s icecream. BEST.EVER. Enjoy the Emerald City!

Have a glazed Top Pot old fashioned for me. My absolute fave. You should check out Bakery Nouveau in my neighborhood – West Seattle. You should check out West Seattle just because! Best beach in town – Alki!
Jeanette
Just moved back to LA from seattle and I miss it!
Be sure to stop by MOLLY MOONS for some of the most delicious icecream EVER!
Esther
Sounds awesome! Hope you have a great time with your family :)

Have a fantastic time in Seattle with your family! I just did a road trip with my parents, brother and sister to visit MORE family. It was mostly fun, but at times a bit trying. I had a few “SERENITY NOW” moments. Bring ipod/headphones and take a ton of pictures. Stumptown is yum!
Angela
YES. I am a waitress/food photographer, and can provide giggles and good times. If you feel like hanging out and eating some deliouso cuban sandwiches with a hip flask of whiskey, lemmeknow.

Bakery Nouveau is definitely worth the trip, everything in West Seattle is! West Five, Circa, Easy Street, Alki Cafe/Bakery, Coffee to a Tea/Sugar Rush, Spud Fish & Chips…and that’s just to name a few, and just the lovely things in West Seattle! I’ve got a million of ’em!

You lucky girl! I have always wanted to see Seattle. Even though I live in LA now, I lived in Boston for years and there’s something charming about a cloudy, rainy city and ducking into a warm coffee shop. They always have those kind of out-of-this-world donuts that you have right in front of you. Keep us posted, and have a great time with your family!

Go to Alki, where near the end you will find a greasy messy basked of deep fried fish and chips. If you walk from the north end to the south end and then back you’ll feel better. Mmmm.
I miss that place so badly it hurts. Also, if you’ll have a car… the San Juan Islands are amazing (a ferry ride can’t hurt either)!!!! GO eat fresh seafood there. Or better yet find some flight school and take a flight instructor out to lunch and you’ll only be gone a few hours. SOOOO worth it! I heart the San Juans.
Also, just past the Hood Canal Bridge (in case you’re on your way to Port Angeles for a Twilight tour) there is a little cafe called Ajax Cafe, OMG! Amazing view, yummiest food made by a real chef.
Have fun, I’m so jealous….Seattle is so beautiful this time of year enjoy.
