Babymoon

Our weekend babymoon getaway did not disappoint. Besides not being able to resist buying an adorable animal themed onesie for Stetsi inside a store that had an "iPoo'd" shirt in it's display window, we did a good job steering conversation away from Stetsi; It felt like we had a nice long date. Where we didn't do a good job is swear a lot while we can. We realized most of our swearing is about work which we definitely did not talk about!

We had quite a few highlights. The view from our hotel room was stunning. We stayed at "Inn at the Market" and would definitely recommend it. One of our favorite moments was lounging in the complimentary bath robes, reading the paper, and eating breakfast in bed, all while enjoying the view of the harbor and the Olympic Mountains off in the distance.

Thanks to friends' recommendations, we dined like Kings. We enjoyed Wild Ginger (mmm, must get the duck) and Purple Cafe (Thanks Jen), the market Piroshky and cinnamon mini-donuts. We were pretty slow paced but managed to get to know Seattle a bit more outside the main downtown area. We stumbled across this cool massive troll eating a car under a bridge in the Fremont neighborhood.

I have missed alcohol but to be honest, this weekend had some especially tough moments. The scenario of sitting at a quaint table in the later evening hours while enjoying both free flowing conversation and an amazing view isn't complete without a tasty glass of red wine in hand. A glass of water or even stuffing my face with muscat grapes to make it taste as close as possible to wine just doesn't cut it!

We got quite a few good laughs at the movies watching "I Love You, Man," two thumbs up. I used to say that I'd see a movie without reading reviews or knowing much about the plot if Tom Hanks was in it. I would add Paul Rudd to the list now. He's been reliable starting with the movie Clueless for me.
