I checked Austin, Texas off my list in April and in May I spent three very fun days discovering the best of Seattle. My favorite thing in life is exploring a new place I?ve never been before, and Seattle had been at the top of my list for years.
Seattle was everything people said it would be and in my rental car I hit as many recommended spots as possible. During my stay, I rented a private room through Airbnb inside someone?s home – remember this article about what makes a great guest room"
Everyone knows both Amazon and Starbucks were founded in Seattle, so Seattle has solidified its standing in the business world as a place where big ideas happen. Its iconic skyline is changing because growth is readily apparent in this coastal and very progressive part of the country.

I also caught up with an long time blog friend who lives in Seattle, which made for an unforgettable visit. I departed after a long weekend feeling both satiated and exhausted. These were some of my favorite experiences:
