Seattle via Instagram/iPhone

Posted by Tina / 17 comments » / Conferences, Food Blogging Adventures, Travel / Vacation

Alright, ya’ll know I was at BlogHer Food last weekend… what a FUN conference. There is nothing like getting together with HUNDREDS of other food bloggers! Too much fun! In between sessions, we managed to get some sight seeing-in so we could check out the glorious city of Seattle! Here’s my re-cap… Instagram Style (as I was an Instagram-aholic while I was there)! ;)

I woke up BRIGHT and early to catch the 8 am flight From So.Florida to Seattle (LONG. FLIGHT. UGH)… The lovely Megan {Country Cleaver} was gracious enough to pick my tired self up at the airport, welcome sign in tow (hilarious)!

My girl, Jessica {Novice Chef} & I with the view from our balcony (we could totally get used to this ;) ).

8 girls in a Penthouse = fun times:

Of course lots of vino & cheese:

One morning, I decided to hit up the infamous Top Pot Doughnuts with Jessica, Lauren, and Shari… oh. my. word. The chocolate Old Fashioned was IN.SANE.

There was also a Tasty Kitchen gathering at the Four Seasons… AMAZING FOOD. And I loved getting to chat with Amanda, Jessica, Lisa, Maria, Jenny, and of course Ree & Betsy.

Of Course we HAD to stop by the world famous Pike Place Market (I am IN.LOVE.):

The flowers & produce were bananas… SO fresh and SO affordable! I’m slightly jealous ;)

Had to snap a shot of the bay where the ferries come in for Derek Shepherd haha (any other Grey’s fanatics out there?! I totally wish there was actually a Seattle Grace-Mercy West hospital but my dreams were shattered to realize it doesn’t actually exist. Bummer of a life time.)!

I could bore the heck out of you guys with a million other photos, but that would just be mean… ;)

Until next time, Seattle…

Now, I have to give a big thank you to my two sponsors who made this trip happen: Pretzel Crisps® & Lindsay Olives! THANKS GUYS! You were a pleasure to represent! :)

    Look like it was a fantabulous time! LOVE that photo of Pike Place Market. I want to go there SO bad. I’m sad I had to miss it this year—last year was a blast! Maybe I’ll get to see you again next year :)

      haha SO typical of food bloggers – I looked up from taking my photo, laughed, and thought “I gotta step back and get a picture of this!!!”
