Happy days


We just sent our friends from London on their way south. They arrived to us Saturday and the last few days have been an alcohol-induced fog. The Orbit gum must do a trick because no one asked me if I'd been swimming in a vat of red wine when I dropped E off to daycare. Whew! lol

The few days involved us hiring a babysitter (the girl at the daycare) and enjoying an adult-only drinks and appetizers fest at the Matador in our 'hood. It also involved us both calling in "well" on Monday and heading into downtown for a day of sightseeing (and more beer, for them. I chose to be DD since someone had to pick up the child) on the most beautiful day this week. They went Pike Place and picked up some of the biggest halibut steaks I've ever seen (if only I had a photo) and made us dinner that night. Needless to say, I did not finish mine!

Last night we met up for drinks with some other friends at a small park in our 'hood to watch the sunset. It was another decadent night of indulging and staying up too late and with the dreary cloudy weather today, it's a wonder if I will ever wake up. I think I better go to the gym because if I don't, E and I will be heading to bed at the same time tonight.

Camping this weekend! We are going to Deception Pass State Park and we can't wait.

What a precious photo!

Sounds like a good time was had by all (especially the wine part- woo!)

Have fun at DP. It's so beautiful there, especially this time of year.

I've heard from RG what a great place Deception Pass Park is. Interestingly enough, I was just looking at their website yesterday.

I'm an armchair traveler these days. No travel plans for the future, so I just ooh and ahh from my ass on my chair at the computer.

Glad you survived (and ENJOYED!) your drunk-fest! ;-)

hugs to you and yours....
