let's head into south side seattle friends because we got 15 things to do to eat and
ideas of where to stay and puppies are optional in this week's video
and if you're new here yo i'm christine lozada with where in the world is cL and i make travel
videos every week to help you get up and go travel so if you like to travel consider subscribing
let's start where i normally start which is let's have a drink it's five o'clock somewhere let's
go get a drink oh have you tried mead before it's actually pretty tasty come check it out
if you don't know what mead is it's actually made out of honey so it definitely has a different
flavor profile than normal wine but when you come here you can do a tasting they do have a
wine tasting but their meat tasting consists of eight different kinds of mead and they're all
so different from each other it's really fun to sit in the tasting room amanda and cosmo have
done a lot to really decorate the space and make it really really fun to hang out in the tasting
room and we're having a good time my part of this comes from it's a red wine grape mead with coffee
wait a minute here we can't just jump straight to dessert or can we
first we gotta talk about where we're at this dinner is awesome but first we gotta check it
welcome to the lodge the cedar book lodge this is nice i'm excited i'm dying to know
what's in this bag but we just checked in and i'm excited to spend a few nights here
it's been really comfy so far and the staff has been really stack's been really nice
oh that's so nice lavender lemonade cool let's go ahead and stick that right in here
so we eat at this
farm because we're just very happy to give this opportunity thank you
this one might kill me but i'm totally going to eat it anyway
level of excitement
there we go dead
let's just say i was very very impressed and after this chocolate
it's not wine time it's chocolate [ __ ] let's go in and have something sweet
this is gonna be meat very soon
this is where the magic happens
anything can happen and behind these doors is the chocolate factory and
where i'm at right now is seattle chocolates and we have been doing
this really awesome tasting we get to learn all about how they create chocolate here
oh we have eaten so much chocolate today it was a little rough after this morning's breakfast but i
i believed in myself i believe in you you can eat all the chocolate in the world double chocolates
but it's been an amazing time getting a tour learning about their chocolate they
ship out millions of chocolate bars and millions of truffles every year and you want to hear a fun
fact if it doesn't pass the chocolate test in other words it's not the perfect shape and size
etc they actually discount the chocolate and they sell it every now and again outside of their store
where you can buy discounted chocolate but we went through the whole tasting and in the tasting
there's there's a few steps that their owners put together in how you taste the chocolate so
everything from breaking the chocolate to the way you smell the chocolate to pinching off your nose
so you can just focus on the flavor it's really fun because they make so many different kinds of
really amazing flavors i think my favorite was the chocolate malt that's actually pretty tasty
this is my girl right here make sure you visit her visit her her you're like okay i'm awesome
i don't anticipate to burn too many of those calories off but let's go for a nice walk outside
because i'm actually super excited about this one because i love being outside and it's a beautiful
day and the botanical garden actually looks like it might be pretty good so let's go check it out
this is definitely my favorite part of the garden beautiful
oh it's nice i wonder if there any fish in the
pond a smaller garden but definitely worth a visit and not only that it's great so come enjoy
the outdoors come like like the volunteer said when the roses are in bloom and enjoy yourself
and if you like the outdoors you don't want to miss this one because a 40 minute ride away ish
is snoqualmie falls where you can hike or you can just park and enjoy the views of the waterfall
and you can kind of come any time because not only is it open year round but if it's raining
you can still go inside salish lot and have a drink and enjoy the view
there's a full video on this link in the description below but a really great option
this is how excited we are to eat lunch right now you've got to check
out this spot because there's a really interesting story behind it check it out
delicious
why did you put the camera on my face
so spicebridge is a non-profit business and they're trying to create a space to help south
king county women of color immigrants and refugees to launch and grow thriving food businesses
so it's neat because it's rotating and you can see with all of these different owners the people who
rotate through here before they go out to the community it's really cool because it's
helping aspiring entrepreneurs to basically get a kickstart on what they're trying to do
and we all get to try the food that they are creating and so today's lineup has
everything from ethiopian food to food from afghanistan to cambodian food and
hungry yeah thank you that was delicious it was my first time trying foods like that yeah
oh so i got the veggie version so i'm having dumplings with
leek billy so it has spices leeks and garlic yogurt on top tomato base with lentils
great thank you what i love about this museum is they have all different kinds of exhibits
it's not just one whether you're looking for information about the area or history or even
local art from the kids there's a whole lot for everyone helpful to know is that entry is
eight dollars and you can get a tour which i do not think you should miss out on but those are
by appointment only so make sure you sign up advanced and come check it out
y'all know i love the sky so i'm so excited for this next part where are we going aviation museum
helpful to know admission is 25 for adults gives you access to everything
this museum is huge you can spend a lot of time here it's highly interactive very very
interesting and my favorite part you all know me i love drones so looking
at the drone portion of it a different kind of drones was my favorite part
but if you're interested in getting fly in a different kind of way that's
very exhilarating do not miss ifly separate video on that link in the description below but it's
it's a good one you wanna know what time it is drinking time
i've got three actually four options for you to get your drink on and the first one
starting here at joey's because if there's a weight they actually serve you champagne while
you wait but a really great spot for happy hour and some really tasty appetizers and
salads that's what we had while we were here but i definitely love checking out this spot
hold the phone before you leave this mall you need to go to the second floor
to mochi nut because these donuts are awesome and i definitely don't want you to think i'm on a diet
but they have really great options for really bad decisions we ordered a box of six i ate a box
welcome to interurban whether you're staying here or maybe just having some duck fat fries
or happy hour at rendition come check it out
those duck fat fries are a must so make sure you order those but there's something important
to know about deciding on a place to stay in seattle so when i came in i was thinking should
i stay right next to the airport or should i go all the way to seattle proper where it's pretty
expensive for a hotel or there's another area that's like a 10 to 15-ish minute ride away from
the airport and this is one of the really great options to stay at if you choose this location
i'm happy
in a spot that you might not expect dog friendly and you notice they got sparkling
actually how far away from the airport roughly five miles but about maybe a 12-minute uber ride
12-minute uber ride come get your pre-drank on in
this amazing view yeah killer view it doesn't get any better than that
obviously very amazing views but also a really cool story this used to be a shipping container
and there's a lot going on in this area with more farmers markets and nighttime markets to
bring more business to this area because it it's a great view and so i really enjoyed drinking
wine here with ken they also have really great coffee as well but when you're
ready to stop petting those dogs take a stroll along the marina and head over to anthony's
welcome to anthony's a really great place for dinner especially
with a sunset so make sure you get a window view they have amazing fresh
seafood obviously you got this view behind you but check out what we ate tonight
