October came and went soooo fast I am still in complete shock. At the beginning of the month I was able to take myself across the states to Seattle, Washington. I’ve always wanted to visit Seattle just to visit and Grey’s Anatomy may have influenced this. I will also admit I was influenced a lot by being able to close out On The Run Tour II with Bey and Jay Z. Judge free zone, this was just a cool thing and seemed like an ideal getaway to me. I had not had a chance to take a vacation this summer due to acting too committed to work so I decided to just go. I looked at the last few tour dates after selling my ticket to the Dallas concert, purposefully stating I wont go if the last few were in states I’ve gone. And BAM, last tour spot was a place that was actually on my travel list, Seattle. So this is how I booked this trip with maybe a week or two to spare.
- Purchased the ticket to the concert. (Under $200 floor seat- CRAZY i had to book)
- Purchased my flight for $5 with my favorite, Southwest Airlines :).
- 4 days before, Booked my Airbnb
- Made my list of must do’s and see’s that I would enjoy not what was necessarily popular.
I wouldn’t suggest this order for most but it worked for me. I feel I lost some coins on the Airbnb for waiting so long, worrying about work and other things knowing it was so last minute but I finally told myself “This job will replace you in 24 hrs if they needed to, enjoy doing what you want, it’s OK! + my Airbnb was sooo cute!
- I ran into a group of awesome, crazy talented young women who I attended the concert with. (This is where Jay Z casually called me out while on stage, once in a life time thing, I knnnoooowww) – I have video receipts

- Visited museums and spent as much time as I wanted there

- Experienced the true Seattle rain, on my last day there, so wasn’t so bad and I feel I was one of few with an umbrella. This was such a norm to them!
- Got to see KD and the Warriors play in the KeyArena before they tore it down. I may have paid incredibly too much for this experience but for me personally it was an experience of the lifetime, do what your heart desires!

- Explored Pike Place by my lonesome running into other travelers or local. Here I met a cool photographer whose work had me in a complete dreamy world!
- Participated in the disgusting cool thing of placing your chewed gum on the wall.

- And ate my first Piroshky from Piroshky Piroshky (may have been my favorite moment these things were sooooo bomb)!




“We’re mid October now, keep up” lol. Girl, October went by so fast I’m shook!! I think Atlanta should be experienced in the spring or summer if you’re not a fan…personal opinion. Regardless, I hope you have fun!

Yeah I’ve done winter winter and summer maybe I’ll wait for Spring to see if it can finally tickle my fanny! I may have to conclude its one city that’s not for me!
