if you have been to seattle before then i am sure you visited the pike place market [that i shared about in part 1]...well, there is a row of shops/restaurants one block off the market on a 'street' called post alley--and it literally is an alley.
but the coolest wine tasting room is located there that we discovered on our last visit to seattle. we enjoyed it so much then that it was the one place that we had to go to on this trip.
the official name is the tasting room seattle: wines of washington. what makes it so great is not the selection of wines...although they are fine--but it is the people that work there and the atmosphere. it's friendly and jovial and they encourage you to play games. it's like you are sippin' wine at a friend's house.
on this visit to the tasting room, MHD and i sat on the tiny patio in the cool sun...in this alley...having a wine flight...and playing scrabble--totally relaxing and fun.
it's funny--but when you sit outside in an alley with people walking right next to your table and you're playing scrabble...it's amazing the number of people who stop to look and sometimes even offer advice!!
i ended up winning by one point. that's the best kind of game!
we ended the saturday with an early dinner and a movie...then sunday we woke up and headed to the ballard campus of mars hill church.
we very much enjoyed seeing mark driscoll preach in his home environment and afterward, we headed to whole foods for a snacky type of lunch. we had plans to go a nice dinner [more on that in part 3] so we ate light. however, i did get an incredible chocolate dipped shortbread cookie--oh my--my new favorite!
after lunch and a quick stop at the hotel, we headed north about 30 miles to the wine country in woodinville washington...
but that my friends, will be covered in part 3!
