Weekend Update!

Another great fall weekend...that absolutely flew by! Not TOO much excitement to report, but those kind of weekends are often best sometimes...

Brian hit the rainy road early on Saturday morning for his 21 mile run....The last BIG one in preparation for The Seattle Marathon on 11/30. After a proper amount of recovery time, we headed over to Madison Valley to do some more house hunting. It really is an ideal neighborhood for us...we feel like we're getting closer to finding something!

Beautiful fall foliage in Madison Valley...




We then headed over to the Frontier Room for yummy barbeque, and then took a walk through downtown seattle.

We decided we needed some dessert, and headed to the bar at The Pink Door in Post Alley. We enjoyed some yummy creme brule, profiteroles, and coffee!

We were SUPPOSED to then head to The Showbox to see Ozomatli play...we've had tickets for ages. However, things were running late, and they weren't supposed to go on until 11 or 12...so we were incredibly lame and sold our tickets to a young couple who seemed they would enjoy the show a lot more. (Or at least make it through the opening act without having to take a nap). Regardless...it was a great night.

Sunday was spent running errands, relaxing, and cooking the homemade version of Etta's famous clam chowder.

Have a great week! It's another gorgeous fall day here...

Hey guys! Saw your comment on my blog and wanted to write and say HI to you guys! Those falls leaves in your pics are gorgeous... we sure don't have those vibrant colors here! Oh well :) How are you guys? How's Seattle treating you? We'll be up in Bellingham a couple days after Christmas, so if you guys are around then it would be fun to see you! :) The raw diet is good... it was super challenging at first, but has actually gotten easier as time has gone on. Who knew! anyway... take care, hopefully we'll get a chance to see you guys soon! And by the way, I LOVE that you have your Christmas tree up already -- maybe we'll put our tree up early too :) Christmas is the BEST.
