A Very West Seattle Day

Antonio has enjoyed all the best hot spots of West Seattle and has even become a regular at several. On his last, West Seattle Day we decided to visit them all, starting with breakfast at Easy Street. For those that have never been, Easy Street is an awesome record store with a diner open for breakfast and lunch. Antonio and Laurie use to walk to the record store so that Antonio could hear the tunes and kick to the music and as he got older we would take him out to breakfast there, where he would listen to the tunes and dance as we waited for food to arrive. Antonio orders the Lil' Kim and we order the Lil' Richard and share it so he can have sausage, bacon, hashbrowns, french toast, eggs and toast with jelly. And believe it or not he eats it ALL!

Since Antonio is a regular he knows everyone there and they all know him as "boyfriend". This is the barista who has a daughter Antonio's age and one of the many waitresses that Antonio has befriended.

But from day one, Antonio's favorite was "girlfriend"-aka Darcy - who has awesome platinum hair with pink or purple accents depending on her mood, and awesome tattoos, which Antonio loves. He runs in and gives her hugs and then walks to his favorite table up on the stage where he can look out over everything in the joint. After breakfast we often head down the block to Coffee to a Tea with Sugar, a great little coffee shop with a fun play area.






Then it was time to walk home, down our favorite stretch - our street. Antonio has loved this walk his whole life and enjoyed it one more time this lovely day, until we reached his favorite rocks, where he played for another hour.



It was the perfect West Seattle Day.
