Hot in Houston is not an apt enough adjective to describe the weather so I grabbed my mom and headed to Seattle for a reprieve. When we arrived at Kelly’s place it looked just like the pictures. There was a lot of natural light(I watch an unhealthy amount of HGTV). My big test of the cleanliness of a place is the bathroom and it was sparking clean and lemony fresh. The location was in such a great place we walked/hiked to Pike’s Place(25mins), but the city was so walkable and we felt totally safe. I worried Kelly with a million questions before I even boarded the plane and she was so kind and accommodating with a quick response for each of my inquiries. The only caveat is that we were on the third floor and there is no elevator, but after getting the bags in we actually looked forward to it after eating all of the great food Seattle had to offer. If you noticed I haven’t mentioned my mom, who is almost 70 btw) it’s because she had such a great time that she just spent the entire time smiling and nodding in agreement to all my praise for the entire experience. Favorite kid status solidified!
