All Over Seattle

We had some adventures in the big city today.

We got some delicious pork buns at Mee Sum Pastry. A sad reality is that once I've finished eating all of my favorites at the market I often don't have any room for anything else.

This time were did have enough cargo space for a visit to Turkish Delight. Some were good and some were overly soft. I wonder if I got a bad batch.

Lydia's a big fan of this new Hellenika Greek frozen yogurt joint.

There was a random exhibit about the giant Robert Wadlow from Alton, IL. I don't see a lot of midwest references over here so I'll take what I can get.

I don't super care that the Hard Rock Cafe died but I wish I had made an appearance beforehand.

We had a quick sip at the luxuriously appointed Olympic Bar in the lobby of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel.

Zoe noticed a promotion where you got a glass of wine for signing up for the hotel's loyalty program. Yes please.

I got a mezcal flight. It was a mistake.

Hotel Christmas

Now that we had Thanksgiving dinner at our place, we could officially acknowledge that Christmas was approaching.

Baby Jesus has a rule though, that booger boys can't do Christmas stuff. Lydia I think likes to use this snot sucker thing a little "too" much if you ask me.

The Fairmont Olympic Hotel was having quite the yuletide exhibition. First of all they were hosting the Seattle Festival of Trees which involved a lot of fun decorations for us to gawk at but definitely not touch.

This was a new one for me, but they also had a hotel room decked out all Christmasy and full of various sizes of stuffed bear called the Teddy Bear Suite.

It was a great opportunity to take a quick nap. Silent night, holy night.

Over at the Sheraton Grand Seattle they were hosting the 29th Annual Gingerbread Village for charity. This year the theme was Willy Wonka.

Back at the fort I finally caved to the girls begging to play with the sabacc deck I brought back from our journey on the Galactic Starcruiser. They featured an exclusive variant of the game called Coruscant Shift.
