On a glorious sunny Seattle day if you have nowhere pressing to be and the kids in the back of the silver bus are happy, it is a lovely thing to be stuck on the Ballard Bridge behind an orange vintage beetle. (Better yet, if you have a warm latte in your cupholder and that yummy coffee comes from Milstead.)
As kid-friendly as Starbucks so often is, I don’t think they intended this Westlake window to be a kids’ drive thru, but my kids spotted it the other day after a monorail ride and a stop at Daiso (hence the 1.50 elephant watering cans) and decided we MUST order there.
Here is what a perfect ordering window for 3-year-olds looks like:
So thank you Starbucks. I can’t wait till you offer babysitting with my latte too:)
We went to Wenatchee this weekend looking for snow. We didn’t find snow in actual Wenatchee-but we did at LAKE Wenatchee and at the Hyak Sno-Park on the way home.
And that was lovely of course. But you know how I feel about sports and snow and the outdoors. (Think cat in water or nails on chalkboard-I’m kind of like that, except I fare a little bit better when I know my guys love it so much) So what was the most magical part of the trip?
I found an amazing bakery that I would go back to in a heartbeat. It’s in a little town called Cashmere (wouldn’t you just love to say you come from Cashmere?) and it’s my fairy-tale “let’s sell everything and move away and start an adorable bakery/coffee shop in a town with an amazing name” dream. Just look at it again:
Yummy pastries in bags definitely make all the difference when you get back to the car after playing in the snow. We loved the pear pastry and this chocolate cupcake-esque treat.
PS-if you need a kid-friendly place to stay in Wenatchee, we stayed at the Springhill Suites and the boys LOVED the pool, the milk and cookies at night and the Chupa Chups at the front desk.
