Chris and I haven't been back to Washington for Christmas in six years (since we were dating) so we were looking forward to going back. Like all of our vacations, our days were jam packed with, sightseeing, eating, and of course, shopping. But we really enjoyed spending time with family and friends. This was our first time to be back in the states in over a year. We were definitely a little overwhelmed with all of our options and driving on the right side of the road felt so very wrong! We had a wonderful time but the ten days definitely flew by!
In between eating and shopping we did enjoy some of what Seattle has to offer... One of our "musts" was the Space Needle. My mother-in-law and I have never been, so were looking forward to going to the top!
Our next stop was at the Pike's Place Market. I love this place... I love the famous throwing fish stand, the amazing foods and the fun atmosphere.

One night my brother-in-law, Michael, took us to see the amazing Christmas lights in Bellevue. They were spectacular! Our first stop was "Snow Flake Lane." Every night during the Christmas season at 7 o'clock a drum band plays, Christmas music is on the loud speakers, and snow falls. It is a super fun experience. Then Michael took us to the Botanical Gardens to see the amazing display of Christmas lights!
