Bellevue Square: a mall where fashion is very important.
As a child I remember all of the well dressed men and women and expensive purses and shoes. I remember the tiny dogs popping their heads from their carriers. I remember my mother joking about the fact that ladies would even get their hair done before going to Bellevue Square. It's not that Bellevue is anything but a mall, but it is a mall that houses so many high end brands. You'll find Louis Vuitton, Prada, Tiffany's, Coach, Kate Spade, Burberry and so much more.As I walk around the mall I see the new generations of men and women still dressed up like their parents used to. I still see small dogs popping their heads from the bags. Bellevue is still the same.
I walk through all the fancy stores and admire all the beautiful clothes and shoes. I think how one day I'll be wearing clothing like that- though there will be no tiny dog peeking from my carrier.
As we leave the mall and head for the airport I think back about our trip.
I will always miss the pikes place and watching the men sing as they throw customer's their fish. The crazy lines of those wanting to drink at the first Starbucks. I remember just how much the city has changed though. There is no more King Dome where I watched my first Mariner's game. There are no more rides beneath the space needle and there is now a rock museum.
As the plane pulls away I look down over the city and know that Seattle will always have a place in heart. I take a deep breath and rest my head against the back of the seat as we fly back to Florida.
