From exploring the old growth forests of Schmitz Preserve Park in West Seattle after lunch at Luna Park Cafe, squeezing in some reading and play time at the historic Elliott Bay Bookstore's new location on Capitol Hill, to bountiful triple scoops next door at Molly Moon's - I totally and hopelessly fell in love with the stunning Sarah and her hunky Liam (my new favorite little human) over and over again.
