Seattle

Last week it was New York City. This week it's Seattle.
I am a bit of a vagabond, I am constantly drifting where my whims take me.
Christmas Domo
There seems to be some kind of Hello Kitty craze going on. First it was Liberty x Hello Kitty, then Forever21 x Hello Kitty, then McDonalds came out with a Hello Kitty Happy Meal and now I spotted these in Hot Topic.
I almost bought a pair of the Hello Kitty tights but I asked myself where would I wear them to.
Especially taken for Domo, because Vikings beat up sparkly boys xD
We had dinner at Elliot's Oyster House in Seattle. I found them pricey but the quality of the food more than made up for it. 
Mr. Nunu claims to be a bit of a clam chowder connoisseur so of course he had to have the clam chowder:
When at an Oyster House one must have oysters.
Dungeness crab cakes:
Geoduck tartare. HOLY GUACAMOLE THESE WERE DELICIOUS!!! 
Cioppino. This was a single order but we had so much left over that we had to pack it and take it home. It contained at least half a crab along with various fish and molluscs. I found it a tad too salty but Mr. Nunu said it tasted fine to him. I shall henceforth refer to him as "salty-wet uncle".
Nunu is happy
What trip would it be without some nail polish hunting?
The next day we went to Pike Place Market and popped into Beecher's Hand Made Cheese for some...cheese xD. Little Miss Muffet would be proud!
Scooping cheese curds into boxes where they will be compressed and aged until they become cheese.
The cheesiest mac and cheese I've ever had in my life. So awesome!
We also went to the original Starbucks so I could get my Christmas drink on xD

Mmmm...egg nog latte xD
Yet more clam chowder for lunch. Also had a lobster roll hoping it'd be as good as the one I had at Chelsea Market but nope, not even close.
We decided to be really touristy and went up the Space Needle...
...and proceeded to get frostbite in our extremities in order to get shots like this:
and pretend to be all artistic by taking photos like this:
My haul for this trip: F21 x Hello Kitty shirt, Nightmare Before Christmas PJs, 2 pairs of earrings from Betsey Johnson, a furry bag (?!), a shameful amount of nail polish and Chex Mix xD
The kittehs were not impressed with the fact that we went away.
