You have a wonderful dad! How sweet of him to follow you to make sure you make it where you’re going 😊

[@case4147]

I love shorter vlogs like this! Glad your birthday weekend ended up being fun even with the crazy weather. (And yes, the Nordstrom cafe is SO GOOD lol!)

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Casey!! 🥹🥰

[@NakiasHideaway]

We are so grateful for you, Gabby! So glad you made it to Seattle and were able to enjoy your birthday. 🥂 And what a special thing to have a friend that you can sit and relax and buddy read with. Hugs! 🤗 Happy Belated Birthday!!!! 🥳🎈🎂

[@annmariesloan8406]

I am north of you in North Vancouver BC. And we got tons of snow last week as well. Came home last Tuesday night. And then didn't leave home again until Sunday. The rain has now washed it mostly away, THANK GOD

[@chrissyfuhrie]

Gaaahhhh I need to visit Seattle. Home of Grunge! So many things I want to see there. Happy Birthday Gabby! 🥳

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! 👏

[@justinkhchen]

Love Kinokuniya! I always visit their NY location when I visit.

[@gabbyreads]

It’s so amazing 😍👏

[@shinyswondrouslibrary]

Happy birthdayyyy!!🎂🥳

[@stephanieraab3330]

Happy Birthday Gabby🎂🎈🥳

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!

[@Whtpaper]

Your Dad is so sweet. We had snow and ice in Portland, OR and it wasn't fun - basically stuck in the house for the majority of a week. Glad you had a nice birthday.

[@holabooks]

Your dad is so sweet for helping you out! As you were talking about driving in the snow, I was thinking that as a fellow California girl, I could never 🙈 I’m glad that you still had a lovely birthday with family and friends 🩷✨

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Gaby!!! Yeah the snow is rough to drive in hahaha 😂

[@symphadventures]

Happy Belated Birthday, looks like you had a fab one and that hotel looked so nice. No snow with us in central England but the wind is excessive.

[@jmaddren]

Happy birthday Gabby ❤ I get killer heart burn because of a swallowing disorder, and I swear by peppermints. Sometimes it’s just a temporary fix but it always kills the pain pretty much immediately. Peppermint tea is good too, pretty much anything pepperminty that you can eat lol.

[@lilyroxmysox]

happy bday gabby!!

[@autumnritchie1473]

Happy Belated Birthday, Gabby!!! Love you!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰✨

[@judychapman1868]

Ok, our power went off this morning, I had to use a flashlight in the bathroom so I could take a shower. If you have to park outside watch a video on how to prepare your car for snow and ice. Use gallon size freezer bags on your side mirrors and large garbage bags, the black one on your windshield. I always enjoy your videos so much and appreciate you posting. Happy Birthday🎉🎉🎉. ❤❤Judy❤❤

[@queenkim8631]

Happy Belated Birthday 🎉🥳

[@GavinReadsItAll]

16:06 omg please bring me here 😭

[@gabbyreads]

I wish I could teleport you here 😢❤

[@naomiking7518]

Happy birthday ❤❤❤

[@linamarasc]

Realizing we’ve been in WA (both from CA) around the same amount of years (8 years for me). I lived 4 years in Caphill for college so it’s cool seeing all the spots I used to go to. Now I live up north of Seattle and we also got snow & 14 degree weather up here 😅

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so wild!! 🤯👏

[@KlaraBreznik-jm9pj]

Thank you for telling me about the movie The holdovers. I have never heard about before. You were right, it was amazing.

[@gabbyreads]

🥹🥹💗

[@gail48]

Happy Birthday, Gabby!🎉 I like weekend vlogs too.

[@annesocialbutterfly]

Love watching other KZbinrs that are cappies! Had my birthday in video too the 19th. Watch many of your vlogs and book tube videos.

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!! And happy belated birthday!! ❤❤❤

[@veronicaprovencal9811]

Happy Birthday🎈🎂

[@cherylNA]

That Manga store was so cool!!🤩

[@elisabarfuss3358]

Happy birthday!!!!!!! I'm sorry your birthday plans were canceled.

[@halko1802]

Happy Birthday! 🥳

[@melanieh1615]

I live in the midwest and have a December birthday so I am very familiar with birthday plans and parties getting canceled because of weather. Very frustrating. Used to devastate me as a kid.

[@gabbyreads]

😭😭😭

[@ReadingNymph]

Im glad that despite the snow you were still able to have a good time ❤

[@Hannah_Lynch]

Happy birthday, Gabby!!! 💙💙💙

[@MandaFandaa]

Happy Belated Birthday Gabby! Great vlog

Happy belated birthday Gabby! 💗

[@gabrielabianchi1809]

Happy Birthday Gabby!🎂🥳

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!

[@ashton_s.]

Happy belated Birthday! This made me miss my day trips I did with my sister where we would go to this Kinokuniya, the Daiso across the street from the grocery stores parking lot, Pike Place Market and would eat in the parks nearby. Having your birthday plans cancelled because of the weather sucks I had that happen last year and I’m hoping that it won’t happen again in a few weeks.

[@karenreads7430]

I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday despite some circumstances. Your family is so sweet and your friend. My sister birthday is in January too. We had to delay her birthday dinner because we were sick. Luckily, we are all well now and we ate at Firebirds 9 days ago.

[@jerrahuckins8777]

Happy Birthday

[@17caria]

What a fun travel vlog! I look forward to more as you go on adventures!

[@mickeyhank]

Whoa. That hotel room, so cool! Happy belated birthday! Good work battling through the early attempts by the universe to seemingly try to ruin your birthday weekend. I love that you treated yourself to this!! When you’re in the bookstore, pulling books out of the shelf it made me realize just how hard it can be to make selections if you don’t have some knowledge or recommendations going in. You pick great restaurants. 😀 Bad luck with that coffee shop with two locations! NOT your fault. Thanks for a really well-made, fun video!

[@taylornicole4316]

Omfg the song while driving to Seattle Is AHazing 🤓😇

[@mattthepageturner9128]

Kinokuniya is my favvv nyc bookstore, i had no idea there were others!

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh I need to check out the one in NYC!!!

[@itchystitchy]

Happy birthday Capricorn!

[@kaytmsutton]

You and your dad remind me so much of me and mine! So sweet🩷

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

okay getting to this very late, but i always find it interesting to see how people who aren't used to massive amount of snow deal with what they consider a lot. i'm from wi/mn and for all my 30 years living here, the worst storm ever was about 2 years ago. i had to drive home from work in a literal blizzard and i cried and had a panic attack because it was the worst storm i had ever driven in. my usual 10/15 min drive turned into an hour and a half. my coworker who is in his late 50s told me he also had a panic attack driving home and cried. i never wish bad weather on anyone it can be so stressful and scary. looking back i think i should've just stayed at work, slept there, and tried driving home in the morning. i will say i prefer my power going out in winter over summer because then i don't have to worry about my food going bad as quickly. it really sucks that all that happened on your birthday but i'm so glad that it worked out in the end!

[@jessicabridges4335]

Man, you are so real about Seattle. 😅 I got home a week ago, and my driveway was still packed in snow. We still have clumps even though it's been raining. My road is almost flooding. I'm catching up on KZbin videos. Whatcom County is crazy during snow. I have been here for over 6 years. Happy Belated Birthday!

[@tracyhoverson8294]

So excited to watch it. I live just north of Seattle & can’t wait to see where you went! I’m watching now.

[@melreadsmysteries]

I’m not even lying, I also recently DNFd Hello Beautiful and started reading One of the Good Guys lol. Just over halfway in that one and really loving it! Looking forward to your vlog! :)

[@thebookbasket]

This was so cozy! Happy (belated) birthday! 🎂

[@gabbyreads]

[@carliii8]

Happy birthday, Gabby!! 🎉

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!

[@jessicaivyreads]

[@mathequation8544]

Fun blog! I gotta check out ramen samurai & that manga bookstore! Next time you’re in Seattle & in the mood for ramen, check out Ramen DANBO in Capitol Hill-they’re an authentic Japanese ramen shop & we are lucky to have one in Washington. Only a few places outside of Japan have them-yum!!

[@gabbyreads]

Good to know, sounds amazing thank you!!! 👏👏👏

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Happy belated birthday 🥳 the jacket is so cute!

[@gabbyreads]

It’s so good!! Haha and thank you!! ❤

[@AmandaPace85]

I loved the vlog, Gabby 💗 I was really looking forward and really excited for your birthday vlog since I assumed you'd film one. I'm so happy that despite the snow and having to cancel some plans for your birthday you still got to go to Seattle and have a wonderful time 🤗

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much Amanda!! 🥰😭

[@evadedenbach1226]

OH, Gabby. It sucks that the weather was ruining your birthday plans. I've always wanted to try the Nordstrom grill. The pizza margherita looks good, and so does the salad.

[@taylornicole4316]

Hey Gabby! 😊 happy birthday friend 🎉

[@kerstinreads]

This winter is insane. It has been 3 weeks here in Kansas with snow or black ice. School keep having delays or are closed. Its nuts.

The Holdovers is a great movie. .has won multiple awards so far. . also announced this morning in Oscar nominations. Also recommend the movie American Fiction which is also great, also announced this morning in Oscar nominations. Loved them!

[@glennosmansdeiros]

Happy Birthday Gabby! Love 49 years old is an amazing age. One More year! :D Have fun PS. Go NINERS

[@dancenutcracker7502]

I know some people really don’t like taking meds, but omeprazole is a life saver for GERD. I have really bad GERD and on omeprazole I rarely notice anything. You should def give it a try.

[@gabbyreads]

I’ve been taking it everyday for about 3 years now! It’s the only thing that works for me! 👏

[@ArinHoney]

Lmao I’m a fellow PNW January baby, and let me tell ya it’s the ~curse~! So many canceled and postponed birthday parties. I’m glad you still had a happy birthday though 😊

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!! And yes winter babies truly do have it rough around here hahaha 😂😭

[@_foreverabookaddict_]

I absolutely LOVE true crime documentaries. American Nightmare literally shocked me. I ended up having to apologize to the people in the documentary through my TV because I thought they were totally guilty 🤣🤣🤣.

[@gabbyreads]

Same!!! I was wrong over and over again 😂🫣

[@bethreads3294]

Gabby, when you get older you don’t mind being snowed in and can’t go anywhere 😂

[@glennosmansdeiros]

Hi Gabby Reads! Taylor Swift is amazing. I have different CDS at home. But: GO Niners Go Brock Purdy #13
