4 girls, 2 days of downtown Seattle shopping equals...

...something that looks like this...

Oh -- and this too...

I'd say we did our share to stimulate the economy.

We stayed at the Westin, and because they liked us they gave us a view room.

It was stupendous!!

I had my first Nordstrom's shopping experience. I'm a fan -- no, a FAN!  I'm ruined for Costco clothes forever. I will now always need someone to help me find things that are just right.

We dined at the Icon Grill...YUMMY Ultimate Mac 'n Cheese. AMAZING Hot Fudge Sundae.

Saturday we hit University Village before we headed north...H& M, Anthropologie, Brighton -- new stores, new shopping horizons...SUCH fun! Quintessential Seattle...dog friendly stores, umbrellas to borrow every 30 ft., lots of green sensibilities, the obviously wealthy mingling with students and families on their Saturday shopping walks. Of course, more than one Starbucks...If I hadn't been having so much fun shopping, I could have had just as much fun people-watching.

But, it was time to go home...If we had stayed much longer, I fear I would have needed a Bail-out.

Carol, Lisa, myself & Caitlin -- whose Golden Birthday we were celebrating (26 on the 26th!). What a GREAT way to celebrate our girl! Thanks for making me an honorary member of Dickson Medical Clinic for the weekend!

And, Lisa, keep those green sandals...They're the bomb!
