Weekend Fun X 2

Hm..where to start... 2 weekends ago, we went to Orcas Island to visit the lovely Harji. They were missed....and were so awesome to invite us to spend the weekend with them. After catching the Anacortes Ferry, they whisked us away in a great little boat! FUN!!!


Highlights of the trip? Friends, conversations, friends, great food and wine, friends, charming house, friends, beautiful scenery, friends...:-)

Clean, crisp sea air

Fresh oysters at the Farmer's Market - shucked and grilled to order...must. go. back....


Big purple starfish - they were everywhere!
The lovely Cara and her famous Spedini, Spedini, Spedini!!! (Cara, did I mangle the spelling?) :-)

Mount Baker!

So that was 2 weekends ago....this past weekend marked the official first weekend together - just the two of us! Great weekend - I took Craig on an...interesting date. We had been hearing of something called The Underground Tour. My understanding was that the tour led you through underground bits of Seattle, while telling of some of the more seedy characters that made up part of the history here. Part of that was true...we were underground, and we did learn of Seattle's sordid past (Seattle, in part, drew most of its early income by a group of women and their "sewing circle" - they helped to service the loggers' "sewing needs" Funny...no sewing machines in town...) However, MUCH of the tour was about Seattle's sewage system, or discombobulated sewage system..mmmm romantic, right? We were even "dumped" *ha!* out into a gift shop that featured a Thomas Crapper Original. nice.

Sunday - Ikea, Ikea, Ikea!!!! Yay for Ikea and their storage department!!!! I finally have a computer desk, filing system, and we found 5 other pieces to help us sort through and organize our "schtuff." And I went grocery shopping. Real grocery shopping - first time since we moved here. :-)

The end.
