Visitors and Spring in Seattle





It's hard to believe it's spring when it's suppose to snow tomorrow, but I'm hopeful the weather will warm up. I hear the weather has been really nice back in Kentucky. If you want to call me and let me know it's 65 sunny please don't, haha. I'm stuck with rain and 40 degree weather. Laura got to experience the fun Seattle weather when she came out to visit last week. It was soo nice having her out here!

While she was here we explored downtown Seattle and got lost in the rain. We started out at Pike Place Market and then decided to wonder around. We wondered into a Nordstrom's Rack store, which I didn't know existed...probably a good thing. Finally we went to find some seafood. Miss Garmin told us the seafood restaurant was only .3 miles away, but trying to find it in the rain proved a little difficult. After help from a nice woman we managed to find it and Laura got her crab legs and I got my crab cakes...it was worth it. The taxi we took back to the car was also worth it, ha. Great idea Laura!!

We also got to explore two wineries and a brewery. We managed to fit it three wine tastings and felt very sophisticated. We've come a long way from boxed Franzi. I actually caught us saying that we could taste the oak. Who would have thought? We didn't manage to tour the brewery, but we ended up eating there and Laura and I tested out their sampler. It was a fun day. I was very happy that she visited. It was nice to spend time with a friend from home. I'm meeting people out here, but it's just not the same. Thanks for coming out Laura!!

Other than Laura's visit not much is going on. I've been doing some spring cleaning and trying to motivate myself to stick to my work outs. Michael has been a work out machine and I need to get my butt in gear. If he gets homesick he works out while when I miss him I eat. It's just not fair! Haha. I am looking foward to my sisters coming out to visit in two weeks!! This is a big step for Erica because she is terrifed of flying. Well it's a big step for Lindsay too because she will have to deal with Erica. Just kidding Erica! I really can't wait for them to get out here. It will be nice to have the sisters all together for a change. I hope everyone is doing well!! I will be home Jun 14th-25th. We will have to organize a Ladies Who Lunch! Love you!
