Mother-In-Law visit!

Joshua and his mom ran around all Friday while I as at work and headed to Carkeek Park and then accidentally got a little lost into downtown so they picked me up from work :)

We went to Capitol Hill for yummy sandwiches from Honey Hole and drinks at Odd Fellows.




The next day we ran around downtown to the Art Museum and took a Boat Tour
The tour was awesome because we got to sit down, and she told us stories about Seattle, and pointed everything out.





We had dinner at nice seafood restaurant downtown. Teresa really wanted crab legs which wasn't on the menu, so we convinced them to make her a whole crab which Joshua and her split. I on the other hand starred at my plate the hole dinner trying to ignore them cracking into the crab haha. I made a barrier with water glasses and bread bowls.



The next day we braved the rain, of course it rained this weekend, and went on a hike- Wallace Falls. We tortured Teresa with some hills but she was a real trooper and made it up the falls. It was fun to take her to the other side of what we love so much about Seattle, the mountains. We even had a little picnic lunch at the top.






We had the best thai food for dinner and then headed to Joshua's work so he could show off his genius, and of course we grabbed Dairy Queen on the way home.

The Taming of the Shrew & toy stores

We're off to my sister's wedding soon and we needed a weekend to ourselves, the sun was shining and it was so so nice.

We headed downtown and walked along the piers with lattes and bagels, which is a great way to start off your morning!

And we headed into a really cool toy store downtown to buy some baby gifts for friends :) Plus we came out with a few toys for ourselves. Joshua was very into the little pick up scoop you could sit on haha


But our evening was what was really spectacular. We went to Magnuson Park to watch Shakespeare in the Park, they were doing The Taming of the Shrew (10 things I Hate about You is based off of it, and it's my favorite movie)

We took a picnic of sushi, blueberries, blackberries, cherry sodas, and licorice

It was the BEST play I've ever seen performed! It was so magnificent. It was hilarious, like laugh out loud the whole time kind of funny. The players were great and the story was so fun and full of personality. The sun set as we were watching it and we felt totally transported. I think the whole car ride home the most we could say was "wow that was awesome" on repeat.





We ended the night with a bottle of wine and our new toy :) We bought a Settlers of the Catan made for 2 people! It is so stinkin fun! Hubs beat me both times but I will get my vengance. And yes are aware that we are becoming nerdier as we age, not cooler :)
