Thanksgiving Trip to Seattle + A Day in Vancouver

Late but super exciting post!

This thanksgiving break (11/25-11/29) I went on a week trip with my family to Seattle! The flight there was just the normal 3-hour flight, nothing too out of the blue. As soon as we arrived in Seattle, my dad drove us straight to the Starbucks Headquarters, where they sold tons of delectable pastries and the usual lovely coffee drinks! The ambiance was INSANE! I would probably go there everyday if I could! Next, we went to the famous Pike Place Market. Let me tell you. That place was like a fairytale dream! The market was filled with food vendors that sold all types of organic honey, fish, meats, decorations, and the most exquisite souvenirs! If my dad hadn't refused, I would do anything to buy one of those vendors! It'd be a dream to be able to work there everyday. Next, my dad took us to the magnificent Space Needle, where you get to take a glass elevator all the way up to 520 feet off the ground! In there, we admired the beautiful view of Seattle and took some pictures up on the cold but rewaTrding observation deck! o end the day, the family went to a local shopping mall for some warming noodles!

On the second day of Seattle, my family went to the first starbucks shop! It was equally as cozy and welcoming as the headquarter, but a lot more interactive! We got to see how coffee was made! Next, my dad drove us around the town, eventually arriving at the Amazon Headquarters, where I took a few unimpressive photos that totally did NOT capture the vibe, but it was beautiful anyways. In the afternoon, my dad too us to the Chihuly Garden and Glass, with magnificent displays of glasswork that enchanted every room I walked in. It was like walking in a dream reality, kind of an out-of-earth vibe!

On the third day of the trip, my dad, my brother, and I went to Vancouver! It was a 3 hour drive there, but a 5 hour drive back to the hotel (the traffic was CRAZY). Surprisingly, we didn't explore a lot of the city, and just went to mainly try a JAPADOG. My family and I then went to Stanley Park to see the famous monuments and the beautiful scenery. I took lots of photos, unrelenting to leave.

On the last day of the trip in Seattle, I went to the aquarium and got to touch and see many oceanic animals! Finally, We took a ferry to from one side of Seattle back to our hotel room side, and ended the day with the new Wicked movie at our nearby plaza movie theatre!

I'm very grateful for all the memories I've made and the privilege to be able to go on this trip. 🙏
