Amtrak to Seattle

Monday morning Roger drove Allison and me to Union Station so we could take Amtrak to Seattle.  We left at 8:30 a.m. and arrived in downtown Seattle shortly after noon.  We stayed at La Quinta on 8th Avenue and it turned out to be a great choice.  The train is a perfect way to travel.  The scenery was beautiful with about half of the trip right on the coast.

We chose "TULIO", a restaurant inside the Vintage Hotel on 4th Street for lunch and we fell in love with the place.  We enjoyed a fresh asparagus soup for the first course and shared fresh caught halibut for the entree.  Because we shared, we convinced ourselves that we should also share a dessert so our choice was a pistachio semifreddo - absolutely fantastic!

If you plan a trip to Seattle, we highly recommend this restaurant.
