10 years and counting

I can start off this post by apologizing how we have done a terrible job at maintaining our family blog BUT I won't. 2011 is a new year and it is a new start. I changed out the background and threw in a new banner. 2011 is going to be great!


On January 8, Albert and I celebrated our 10 years of togetherness. Albert surprised me by whisking me off to Seattle for a weekend getaway... It turned out to be more of an eating smorgishborg. (see the pictures below)

For those of you who know us, you know that we met while working at Starbucks. The original Starbucks is located in Seattle and we started our vacation there. Awwwwwwwwww... <3 <3 <3

We strolled down to Pikes place and had a mini breakfast/lunch of Beecher's mac and cheese and Piroshkys. Delicious! We saw interesting sites and tasted every sample that was handed out.

We stayed right in the heart of downtown Seattle. Our hotel was across the street from H&M and Cheesecake Factory. I must have died and gone to heaven!

For dinner we decided to make a few stops. We started with happy hour at Hotel Monaco, then strolled down for yummy hot dogs at Dog in the Park, and ended with Red Velvet Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory.

The next day we strolled the International District which is the equivalent of China Town and Japan Town. We got boba and cream puffs at Beard Papas and then headed home.

 
We had such a blast and love spending time in Seattle. Next time we plan to bring the girls and show them the Space Needle.
