Sunny Seattle Saturday!

Turtle enjoyed the sunshine on the way to Seattle today.

We started the day with some vegan donuts from Mighty O! I love them so much! The donut on the left is a peanut butter chocolate and the one on the right is a raised chocolate cream. OMG!

Cuteness!

Cupcake Royale in Ballard FINALLY has a vegan cupcake.

Hey creepy french fry guy!

We stopped by Wayward Vegan Cafe for lunch. They have a new menu so I tried the Wayward Burger. I approve!

I'm making a padded insert for my camera bag. I need foam to do this. Luckily Seattle has a Friendly Foam Store! How could I not take advantage of this?! They are super friendly and they have foam. They couldn't have picked a better name for their company.

Since it was warm and sunny we went to Carkeek beach park. I miss living in Seattle. We live in such an awesome part of the country!

There were a ton of people on the beach today.

There's the Olympic Mountain range.

It was low tide when we were at the beach so we were able to spot a few shells.

Barnacles!

Even though it was a little windy the sun was warm on our lily white faces.

A train was coming around the bend. Many people ran to the train bridge to wave hello and to take pictures. Eric is up there in the crowd.

There he is!

There was a crazy Seattleite swimming. Brr!

Shell.

Cute!

Eric was rather sweet at the park. We were walking across a wet and swampy part of the park. He stopped and motioned for me to hop on his back. He carried me across the marshy land. He earned major gold stars for that one!

Quack quack!

On the way home we stopped at the Root Beer Store. Eric took a photo of our haul at home. Junie needed attention as you can see.

Eric also wrote about the Root Beer Store over on his blog Little Black Star!  Click and check it out!

Beverages, belts and noms.

We finished off our root beer last night so we'll be heading to the Root Beer Store again this weekend!

 

I went to Starbuck's today for some coffee. On the way back to work I noticed that the barista wrote my name on my cup. I'm slightly embarrassed that she remembered my name.

 

Last week I ordered a camera strap from Couch Guitar Straps. The lovely yellow strap arrived today! Couch sells vegan belts, guitar straps, camera straps and a few other goods. They're a super fun company so you should go support them!

 

Tonight for dinner I made some tofu scramble with red kale, black eyed peas with brown sugar and cayenne and I diced up an avocado. So good! Happy Thursday!
