As I've been going through my photos lately I thought I would share some of my favorite places here in Seattle with you today!  The first one is a favorite park of mine, the next is my favorite place to eat -- a wonderful tea shop and the last two are from the awesome Tulip Festival!  Hope all of you have a wonderful week! Enjoy!!

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
Benjamin Franklin

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

    Such a lovely tree lined walk in your fav park Sylvia and as Jack said the shingles on the roof of the restaurant are special. The backdrop to the tulips in the last shot is stunning!
