We'd read about a little bakery in Portland called Two Tarts, which makes a wide variety of mini-cookies and pastries. Of course, we had to find it! It was in a cool little neighborhood called the Alphabet District, which we'd never heard about. After finding Two Tarts and purchasing a baker's dozen of goodies, we walked around the area till we found a place to eat lunch. We decided on a restaurant called Papa Haydn's and the food was delicious! They also had a fabulous looking pastry section but we felt we should pass since we'd just bought all those little cookies! After lunch, back in the car and on to Seattle. The day was sunny and warm and we had a nice drive, though I kept being amazed by all the traffic.

The Market was closing when we got there so we had almost an hour to kill before our dinner reservation. We got a lot of walking in, which we both needed. Had a very nice meal and the friendly waitress also comped my dessert (creme brulee, of course) on top of our $20 off. Nice! We made up for it with the tip, though, so not sure how much we really came out ahead.
We both woke up really early today (5 AM--what is wrong with me??) While we were at the Market, people were bringing in huge bbq pits and we heard there's going to be some sort of cook-off today so we have to go check that out. We are going to find some different parts of town to explore and move to our next hotel. I heard the volcano went off yesterday but it didn't appear to affect a lot of travel so maybe we will be safe to go home tomorrow. We have one of those early flights, which I HATE but I don't think I can be too picky. We are definitely hoping if we get stranded, it will be in Seattle and not Anchorage.

Oh, I love the Market. I am so, so jealous of you and Rich! Sounds like you have had a great trip despite the volcano. Keep having fun for all of us!
Glad to see you have made the best of things, as usual. You two always seem to find the best little places. Meanwhile, we have had the usual spring weather here. :)
