West Seattle Weekend

Sandra and I took Amtrak to Seattle last Friday for her first visit to the new West Seattle house.
We had a fun weekend exploring.......

On Friday night we went to The Matador on California Avenue. It reminded me of Texas meets Goth.....interesting interior (dark, candles, chandeliers and cow heads). Excellent tex-mex menu with a great variety. Very crowded.....loud - but a great Friday night hot spot in West Seattle.
Our weather was clear, windy, but chilly. We are loving the fall chill (instead of the gloom of rain).

Sandra really loved our new West Seattle home! It is so nice now to have the room to host friends and family.Sandra and Brian at the end of California Avenue - view of downtown SeattleSaturday morning we hit California Avenue. We took Sandra to our new favorite breakfast place, Charlestown Cafe followed by sight-seeing along Alki Point and shopping up one side and down the other of California.

We had afternoon libations at Jak's Grill and The Beveridge Place.


In the evening we hosted the Seymour's and little Maile to an Indian Feast. Sandra really enjoyed spending time with the baby.



Enjoy!
Stacy

    Welcome to West Seattle! (found your post while checking Google Blog Search for the latest and greatest around our side of town) We've been here 17 years and there's no place else we'd rather be.
