We live right up from the Space Needle in a wonderful area called "Queen Anne." Two blocks from the "View," one block from our favorite coffee shop "Caffe Fiore" and walking distance to everything else - life doesn't get much better than this!

Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
28-day rode trip across country when Mia was 15 months (we put on 8,000 miles!!). She was a spectacular traveler and we had just pulled into Santa Fe on my birthday. We were all a little tired and went to try Coyote Cafe. She was impatient and it was the one time in the whole month that she wasn't in the best spirits. Well, the service was horrible, they wouldn't wait on us and an hour later we hadn't even been asked what we'd like for entrees. When we got up to leave, the server came over to me and said "Yeah, well happy birthday. I bet you'd like to light a candle over your daughter's head and blow it out." Let's just say, worst experience at a restaurant ever - and their behavior was more inappropriate than my daughters. Finally, we went to a city square, I sat on a park bench and my husband brought me a piece of chocolate cake from a bakery! It was the sweetest gesture on his part - my dear little girl sat on my lap and we ate the cake together -making the final hours of my birthday memorable just alone with our little family.

"Eye-candy"
Fireworks is a Seattle shop that was created years ago to showcase Pacific Northwest artisans. It has grown to several locations through the city and is cleverly jam- packed with handmade goods, exclusive gifts and up-to-the-minute décor, like their signature star lights that can be found in many children’s rooms throughout the city. This is eye-candy at its best and something that the traveling mom with kids will appreciate when you can shop in their relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by breakables, enduring goodies and trendy treasures.
