We hit Etta's for breakfast on Saturday morning, splurging on salmon cakes eggs Benedict (for Brian), and maple french toast for me!

Brian prepares to dig in
We then headed down to check out the Seattle Aquarium. I hadn't been there since my illustrious days of employment at the gift shop during college. They've done some crazy renovations since then. It was really neat, but it'll be even cooler to see it with our daughter who will be here in about 14 weeks! There were tons of kids marveling over the tide pools and colorful fish, and we got really excited to see it again soon with Baby Girl Patenaude.

A cute little otter. (This shot would be better if I had the new lens that I want!)

A fish! At an aquarium! Crazy!
This crab-like thingy seemed to be sort of angry
After the aquarium, we hit up Pike Place Market for some groceries for dinner, and popped into Serious Pie for a little bit of yummy pizza for an afternoon snack! On our way home we were thrilled that we weren't sitting in the giant traffic jam headed INTO the city for dinner. That evening, we enjoyed Alaskan spotted shrimp (Seriously...the best shrimp EVER!!), papardelle noodles with spicy red sauce, and some fresh bread for dinner. We topped it off with some cheesecake truffles we found at a little shop in the market....YUM!
The rest of the weekend was spent errand running, stroller shopping, taking some nice walks in the sunny (yes...sunny) weather, and some nice relaxation. Brian spent a lot of time working on the baby's room, and fiddled around with the mounting for the cut outs.
Some cut outs hung up in the office as a test!
Back to work...At least it's a short week!

Wow, you should write a food column! Your descriptions were making me drool :) I love the otters but I heard on the news that the octopus date didn't work out, despite playing Barry White music to set the mood! Brian, your cut outs look great. That is going to be one cute baby's room! Love to all
