Puyallup Fair

On Friday, Nick went on a work retreat with his Information School coworkers to Daybreak Star Cultural Center at Discovery Park. I don’t have a lot to report on that because I wasn’t there. 😛 Nick had a good time, though. On Saturday, we went to the Puyallup Fair with Dad and Amanda. The Puyallup Fair … Continue reading »

Long-Awaited Update

Sorry we haven’t updated the blog in so long! We’re starting to settle into our new home. We love it here and most of our exploring lately has been just driving around through the neighborhoods of Seattle – nothing particularly picture or blog-worthy. The weather has been amazing lately! We’ve lost count of how many consecutive … Continue reading »

Alki Beach Park

Since we have so many blueberries, I decided that it was time to do something with them! What a brilliant idea, huh? 😛 I always make blueberry muffins with mix from a box, so yesterday was my first time making blueberry muffins from scratch. I used a recipe I found online for “To Die for … Continue reading »

Blueberries & Horses

Nick and I were busy yesterday! We took some boxes up to the cabin for storage and when we got there, Uncle Eric was there to greet us. We learned that he had been up at the cabin to carry wood from the dock all the way up to the driveway… and he could use … Continue reading »

Seahurst Park

Martha Sue, Jim, Mom, Nick, and I removed another post-it note when we visited Seahurst Park Friday evening. Mom and Amanda had visited Seahurst Park for the first time on Sunday and loved it, so Mom was excited to take us there. Because we went there in the evening, though, we weren’t able to see the Olympic … Continue reading »

Magnuson Park

One of the awesome things about our new apartment is that we live right next to Seattle’s second largest park, Magnuson Park. It is located on a former Navy airfield and there are still old military buildings throughout the park. Seattleites even play tennis in the old hangar. Nick and I visited Magnuson Park for … Continue reading »

An evening on Capitol Hill

Last night we met with Marie’s mom and sister (Carrie and Amanda), her great aunt and uncle (Marian and Karl) and their daughter and her son (Sally and Sam). While on Capitol Hill we stumbled upon some folks playing Bicycle Polo on a tennis court at Cal Anderson Park (picture above). It’s pretty crazy to watch … Continue reading »

Seatac Botanical Garden

Mom and Amanda have been coming up with a list of places they would like to go and things they would like to do with Nick and me. Their fridge is covered in post-it notes with these ideas. Yesterday, we were able to remove one post-it note – the Seatac Botanical Garden. We’ll have to … Continue reading »

Emerald Downs

On Saturday Amanda, Marie and I went to Emerald Downs. Carrie had some free passes from work, but couldn’t go because she had to work (lame right?). It was a ton of fun watching the races, and we even did a bit of gambling and bet on our favorite horses. We had beautiful weather and the … Continue reading »
