Monday and Tuesday under construction!

Monday: We ate breakfast at home and then drove over to West Seattle to walk on Alki Beach. It was beautiful and warm...then it was the obligatory trip to Target with Mom...then we headed to Jolly Roger for dinner and an early birthday dinner for Topher! They are moving to a new location soon, so we took some photos to commemorate the occasion.

SUNDAZE

We walked around Discovery Park in the morning. Then we drove over to Capital Hill to visit the Seattle Asian Art Museum. Then we were starving and headed over to Chinook's for dinner, which was mostly oysters. Yum! Then we came home and watched The Simpsons with Topher, who was out doing his own thang. It was hot again and we were lazy, though Mom and I did yoga before heading to bed.

go sounders! go whedon!

Saturday we got to babysit Esther! She was very well behaved and both Topher and I got her to take naps! She is very cute and did well with my mom too! We watched the Sounders play Chelsea online, while Esther's parents were at the game and it was exciting to see even more people pack into the stadium!


Topher and I went to the annual Serenity geek out benefit on Saturday night. This year it was quite an affair; Serenity, dinner and Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog on the big screen! Next year we are going to have to dress up, we forgot this year. It was so fun to see it again and I am ready to watch Firefly again....Equality Now is the organization which Joss works to support through these annual screenings and the Seattle Browncoats made their target this year!!!

Update!

Friday: Mom and I took the bus downtown. First we stopped by Earth & Ocean to say hello to Topher! Then we went to the Seattle Art Museum and saw Andrew Wyeth; Remembrance and Painting Under Attack 1949- 78. The shows were amazing. It was a very hot day and when Topher met us at SAM and said that we should be prepared, we decided to stay inside the SAM building....so he went to the bar at TASTE and we continued wandering around the freezing cold galleries and eventually made our way to TASTE. We had a delicious dinner including but not limited to; oysters, chickpea frites, ling cod, scallops and bisteca. (This our first time back after we ate there after getting married! Almost a year later!)

another fun Thursday!

We took it easy on Tuesday...Mom mostly read and napped. Yesterday was Topher's day off and we ate breakfast at Sunlight Cafe, got baked in the sun at Kubota Gardens and then went to 3rd Place Books for my knitting night. Today I actually slept in and Mom and I went to Peet's for the Matcha Green Tea Freddo and we are going to head over to Ballard to eat lunch and see The Proposal. Topher is back at work and he has Soccer tonight, so Mom and I am going to have a lot of time to hang out together!

Monday

Sunday!

I did not take photos. We walked to Fremont, it was cooler and a bit rainy. We had snacks at The Flying Apron and went to Showpony to do a little shopping. Then we walked home and decided to take it easy and ate leftovers from our cookout on Friday before the Storm game. The Storm played the Chicago Sky and damn they were good! 2 of the Sky's players Kristie Toliver and Candice Dupree were pretty much unstoppable. The Storm kept up, but ended up losing, it was still a fantastic time and we had excellent seats! I also went ahead and got Topher and I tickets for several more games throughout the Summer, so we can continue to enjoy our local basketball team! By the time we got home, it was time to call it a night.

We have been enjoying Flight of the Conchords, mom has never seen it and loves it as much as us! Yesterday, Monday Eileen and I went up to Mount Rainer for the day. It was beautiful and socked in, but still lovely. When we got home I made Spring Rolls and we were all beat again, watched a F of the C and then called it a night! Photos to come...
