Actually, I'm hoping to do some perfume shopping while we're here...maybe tomorrow. Just came back from Bainbridge island after spending the day watching their parade and walking all over town. In a while, we'll drag ourselves down to the hotel bar and have drinks and dinner. Then, we'll watch fireworks from our room and crash... Hope you've enjoyed the day - thanks for your comment!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-56291750618457228912012-07-04T11:45:05.113-06:002012-07-04T11:45:05.113-06:00Your trip sounds fantastic!

Perhaps Independence Day is another day to enjoy the smells of the Pacific Northwest sans perfume. But I smiled at the way you make packing perfumes a priority...enjoy every minute of the city you love!Musing Mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460946411318795459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-78557158228307099882012-07-04T11:00:52.458-06:002012-07-04T11:00:52.458-06:00Hi Cymbaline - good to hear from you!

We are loving the weather and planning to spend the day at Bainbridge Island (parade, street fair, classic car show), then figure out fireworks tonight...after a Cobb salad at 13 Coins. Hope you have a great day in Tacoma and we'll make the most of the holiday!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-79440461248428570772012-07-04T10:09:17.192-06:002012-07-04T10:09:17.192-06:00Welcome to Seattle, Josephine!

Hooray, the sun is making an appearance today : )<br /><br />The SO and I are headed to Tacoma to hang with friends and family at the city's waterfront party. Where are you going to watch the fireworks tonight? Have a great time wherever you are!Cymbalinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03869997513487478698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-61994964259276170972012-07-04T07:33:02.876-06:002012-07-04T07:33:02.876-06:00Annette Hello and welcome! Your comments are inte...Annette Hello and welcome! Your comments are interesting because never have I enjoyed so much perfume sillage as walking the streets of downtown Seattle. Any ban on on perfume is annoying because there are so many other smells that cause nausea or allergic reactions. Take body odor, for example, like the guy I got stuck with on the elevator the other day - thought I might pass out...Or disgusting food that people heat up in the office microwave. Or hair that hasn't been washed for a week. Or wearing clothes fresh out of mothballs. If we're banning disturbing smells, we need to look way beyond perfume.Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-69682594457311348162012-07-03T20:46:01.915-06:002012-07-03T20:46:01.915-06:00Most schools and workplaces in Seattle ban perfume...Most schools and workplaces in Seattle ban perfume because it can disturb other people, sometimes causing nausea or allergic reactions. My coworker, for example, has an extreme allergic reaction to the scent of patchouli (how she survived Seattle in the 70s is beyond me!). As a frequent traveler, I thank you for not wearing perfume on the plane and other confined spaces.Annette Stevensonnoreply@blogger.com
