Restaurant
Ivar’s + Gas Works Park
The weather was so nice today (it got above 60º after all) that I decided to pick up Nick from work and do something outside. We went to Ivar’s for fish and chips and clam chowder. A friendly (and hungry!) duck came up to us as we were eating and stared straight at me. She’d cock … Continue reading
Alfy’s Pizza
Oh goodness! Another pizza post?!? 😛 Nick and I drove up to Grandma and Grandpa’s today to collect our Girl Scout cookies (thank you, Stephanie!). We had fun chatting with Grandma and Grandpa and even helping Grandma with computer problems. 😉 We also got to meet their (aka my cousin Caleb’s) new horse, Peaches. Grandma … Continue reading
Flying Squirrel Pizza
Tonight, Nick and I tried another pizza place we hadn’t been to before. We met up with Mom and Amanda at Flying Squirrel Pizza, whose pulled pork pizza was featured in Seattle Magazine this month. Nick and I drove right along Lake Washington to get to the Seward Park restaurant, which made for a nice drive. We … Continue reading
Tutta Bella
Nick and I had lunch with Mom yesterday at Tutta Bella, a Neapolitan Pizzeria we’ve all been wanting to try out. President Obama even had some Tutta Bella pizza when he was here last month. We shared a Pancetta (pancetta, tomato, roasted onion, and basil) and a Capannina (lemon and prosciutto), both of which were … Continue reading
Downton Abbey Finale
Nick and I joined Mom and Amanda on Sunday to watch the Downton Abbey Season 2 finale. We were happy the finale ended on a happy note and we can’t wait until Season 3 starts in September. Downton Abbey Season 1 was great and we really enjoyed it. Prior to watching the finale, Mom and … Continue reading

We had a good time and it was nice to meet Andy and see Martin and Shelley again. On Sunday, we invited Mom … Continue reading
Molbak’s and Purple
Nick and I just got back from an afternoon of fun with my mom. We went to Molbak’s, which is a well-known local plant nursery in Woodinville (about half an hour away). This time of year, though, they have all sorts of Christmas ornaments, decorated Christmas trees, a large collection of poinsettias, and samples of … Continue reading
Pancreatic Cancer Walk
On Sunday morning, Grandma and some of her friends (one of whom is a pancreatic cancer survivor) participated in PurpleStride Puget Sound, a fundraiser walk to support the fight against pancreatic cancer. It was located at Magnuson Park (right across the street from us), so Nick and I walked down to the park to cheer … Continue reading
Eye Exam
After nearly failing the vision test when getting my driver’s license in July, I needed to see an eye doctor. So on Tuesday, I had my first ever eye exam. They started with a weird test that blew air in my eyes. Then, I had to read letters under various scenarios. They put some drops in my … Continue reading
Piroshky Piroshky
On Saturday, Nick and I went to Pike Place Market with Mom and Amanda. Mom and Amanda took light rail and Nick and I took the bus. We met up at Westlake Center (a few blocks away from Pike Place Market). It took us 45 minutes (including walking 1/2 mile to the bus stop) to … Continue reading
