Sleepy in Seattle

 

We have finally arrived at our first destination - Seattle.  The morning of our flight was very sad because it was difficult to leave my family.  However, we were running late and had to dash in order to catch our flight.  We barely had time to think.  We had a 1-hour layover in Denver, so we were finally able to eat breakfast before getting on the 2nd leg of our flight.

Seattle was overcast and raining when we arrived - typical.  It wasn't too cold though w/c was a nice surprise given the weather forecast I checked before leaving.  We went straight to a Chinese restaurant w/ Fortune Cookie's parents to have dim sum which was delicious!  After that, we hung out with his cousins from New York.  We all went to Target together to buy a converter and adapters for our travels - essential for our electronics.

That night, we went to Seastar, a seafood restaurant in Bellevue, to celebrate his cousin's 40th birthday.  The food was delicious!  Everything tasted divine - the appetizers and the entrees. I tasted a little bit of everything.  To end the night, we had mocha-flavored cake. It was wonderful.

Here are a couple of pictures of the entrees.  They don't do the food justice though.

I would love to write more about Seattle, but I am so sleepy and still recovering from the lack of rest from moving, packing and flying.

Will write more later!  Good night everyone..
