{weekend adventure} pike place market

{public} market center
I recently was able to spend a lovely afternoon explorng Pike Place Market with Ryan, my mom and sister, Amber. We walked through the market, gazing at all the beautiful bouquets, stopping to sample fruit and watch fish be thrown across the room. I picked up some cimmanon apple chips, spices, and a big bouquet to brighten up our home. All the old brick buildings surrounding the market had so much charm, we strolled around, walking down Post Alley, tasting freshly made cheese and ended up taking a break at Seattle's Best Coffee for a refreshing espresso! I especially loved our stops to listen to musicains as they sang, played the banjo and made pretty music fill the air. The energy was electic.  <3 Carrie

  3. Yay for Pike Place! I just love those flowers, they are gorgeous and so affordable. Awesome shot of the ferris wheel, I am so excited to ride that someday.

  6. My favorites are Piroshky Piroshky (across the street from the main market) and the crepe place (in the main building). Oh and the flavored pastas are delicious. Pike is always so much fun!

  7. Pike's place kind of looks like Reading Terminal Market, minus the ferris wheel and water. I'm super jealous of your adventure and your eats!
