Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James


On Saturday we decided to head to Seattle for some relaxation and sailing on Green lake. Lilly, Justin and myself all piled into one of those TINY sailboats... can you believe it?!?

We then headed over to Capital hill for their annual block party. 30,000 people, 60 bands. It was nuts. We had a pretty chill experience though because we found all the tucked away over 21 shows.
We just kept saying... "This is what summer is all about!~"

SEIZE THE MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS, LOVE AND BE LOVED! Leo Tolstoy


This weekend Justin and I explored the Seattle streets like tourists!
Besides seeing Nicole Richie... which was a HUGE deal for me.
I also tried on (and feel in love with) her new Winter Kate collection.
(see more photos of me falling in love with this dress... here)


Justin checked out some ties at J Crew
(This tie made us laugh... his expression cracks me up too.)
PS you are not supposed to take pictures in J Crew. Now I know.
PPS J Crew isn't THAT great of quality. I always find myself so disappointed in that shop.


We toured the streets... and took photos.



took in the sights...

checked out "the gum wall." We didn't have any gum to add :(

Visited my FAVORITE Pianist in down town Seattle.
*** I have two of his CDs and they are amazing. *********
He plays with band aids on his finger tips in the summer and gloves in the winter and his CD 's are just one 60 minute track of him continuously playing.
It could be one of my favorite CDs.
You've never heard anything like it.

We then found ourselves in this little winery called the Tasting Room. There were incredible musicians there too! They are part of a band called The Head and The Heart.
Check them out.
THESE finds are why I love living in Washington. There are so many different kinds of people and so many amazing little places to discover.
We tasted several wines and traded stories with complete strangers. (I love doing that. don't you?)
All in all it was an AMAZING day.
The whole day I just kept thinking how much I adored these moments with Justin.
What a weekend!
