what to pack: Seattle!

I'm headed out here pretty quick... and of course, the packing list is the one thing that I always want to be effortless, but never seems to be. Uggh. Am I alone!?!?!  I've been checking the 10 day forecast about (rough guestimate, here): 1,567 times a day; and it keeps changing.  So in general I am preparing for rain, sun and mild temps (actually cooler than we are here in Michigan).  Seems easy enough right!?!?

As you know, we are traveling with the kids to Seattle.  My best friend from college lives there with her kiddos and husband and it's going to be serious catch-up-with-my-friend-let-the-kids-run-wild time.  Seriously I could just sit and drink coffee with Jen and let our kids play for four days straight in leggings and a t-shirt.  I'm so excited to see her.  But of course there will be fun touristy things involved as well and maybe even a meet up with a fellow blogger (hell, I can't go any where these days without scheming on which of my internet friends I can see while I am there... I'm going to the grocery store later - anyone? anyone?) and one night out with just the adults!  Whew.... that's a lot to plan for.

I decided to go with some simple items from my closet that will mix and match well and after that - well, just wing it! (these are all actual items in my closet... or close stand-ins for similar items)


In general I could mix and match these items endlessly... all I am looking for are simple and comfortable looks.  Here is just an idea of what I'll be wearing...
