Coffee

Ashley had the day off yesterday, so we decided to take advantage of one of Seattle's premier attractions - the local coffee shop. Sure, a Starbucks can be found on every street, but Seattle natives know that the best coffee and best ambiance are only found in the quaint little local shops hidden all over the city. I have a few that have become favorites, but just when I think I've discovered all the good ones, someone enlightens us to another. Last week, Ashley's college roommate and husband gave us a gift certificate to a place they found while visiting Seattle and Mars Hill (she came out to interview for school and received her acceptance letter a few days ago!!). So, with a day off, a gift certificate and a camera in tow, we set out for a rare dining experience - and I think we've both concluded that this should be a more frequent event.
