Re: The first 727 comes home to stay
My first commercial flight was on a 727, and back then sitting in the economy cabin was quite a treat! I'm glad this jet made its way home to one of the greatest plane museums in the world.

Re: Let's Go Shopping at Pike Place Market - Seattle, WA
I love the sights, the sounds, the colours and - yes - the smells of a market. Finding a new fruit or vegetable is amazing. Usually in a country I'm visiting. I found your husbands likings so funny. I read it to my wife but I couldn't finish a sentence for laughing ! Maybe he's a Monty Python fan ?

Great visit to a great market! I try to get to the Pike's Place market almost every time I visit Seattle. You are right, Samantha, there's nothing magical about the fish being thrown around.

Re: Road Trip: Starbucks Reserve, Seattle
I've never been a real fan of Starbucks coffee (my theory is that they make it badly so people with too much money will pay to have it covered up with confections), but the Reserve sounds like a fun place to spend an afternoon!

Re: Road Trip: Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory
One of my favorite places to eat in a Seattle has been the Volunteer Park Cafe! It is nestled in the neighborhood right near the park. It used to be a corner store in the neighborhood. Thanks for this article! Next time we head to the cafe, we will have to actually check out the park and the Conservatory.
