Seattle Day 5

Day five, our last full day in Seattle, promised to be an eclectic one at the very least. It was both the day of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Seattle and Pie Day, and the day that Andrew and I were going to explore Fremont and go to the WWE show.

We had breakfast at Cafe Campagne, which was a restraurant I had been wanting to go to, because it was the place where my mom and I had brunch when we visited Seattle when I was 16. They have a killer brioche french toast and an awesome morning mimosa.

Andrew ordered a poached egg on brioche toast in a sort of wine reduction, also delicious.

We couldn't help but take another walk through the market to look at vendors and flowers.


Then we took a bus to Fremont to see the Fremont troll... and lo and behold, we discovered a funk band called Eldridge Gravy and the Court Supreme filming their music video.

Which Andrew and I were able to be a part of! Apparently their music video will be coming out on their website sometime soon, and we're in the background doing terribly coordinated dance moves.

This is the bus the band travels in.

A few streets over we found the hotly debated Lenin statue.

And we also found a little hand pie shop while we were wandering around. 3.14 indeed!

The shop was packed with a long line down the street.

Delicious pies!

The delicious pies we ate! Strawberry rhubarb and blueberry.

As you can see here.

After Fremont we returned back to the Seattle Center to visit the Chihuly museum.





We opted not to go up the Space Needle, but did stand beneath it!

On our way back to the hotel we walked back to the Yellow Leaf Cupcake Company and I tried their sipping caramel, which did indeed taste just like liquified Werther's (and was delicious).

Amanda was amazing and send a gift certificate to Tom Douglas restaurants to me at the hotel for my birthday! Which meant we could go back to Serious Pie for dinner! YES.

We also picked up some macarons at The Yellow Leaf, because they looked too good.

We hooked a bus BACK to the Seattle Center area again and walked over to Serious Pie and Biscuits.

Amazing charcuterie!

We also enjoyed amazing pizza, but the best thing we had that evening was the famous Tom Douglas Triple Coconut Creme Pie. Apparently you can order a coconut creme pie at any of his restaurants at any time, and if they don't have it they will walk or drive it over from one of his other restaurants. And you know what? One of the best pies I've had, and I don't typically care for coconut creme.

That's right, WWE at the Key Center.

So excite.

A family of Hulk Hogans.

Tyler Breeze is a WWE character who takes selfies of himself, who Andrew and I had stumbled across on the internet before and laughed about... and he just so happened to to be at this how too!

Lucha Dragons were one of the very best parts.

This little girl, maybe 10 years old, was VERY into the show.

Headed out, lots of excited fans.
