Away

We just got in last night from a little trip down to Seattle with Kori & Roger. We had so much fun! Actually, our first choice was a few nights at Harrison Hot Springs but when we tried to book, we discovered that the hotel was full. A little disappointing but since we had already arranged sitters we had to go somewhere!

Since we do enjoy a good shopping excursion AND since the dollar is so high, Seattle was the next logical choice. And I must mention that we have husbands who like to shop too! Lucky us. I should have worn my pedometer. It would have been very interesting to see how many steps we took each day. It wasn't a relaxing holiday in that regard. My feet were quite tired by the end of the trip. But perhaps all that walking helped even a small amount in putting a dent into the caloric intake of our mini-holiday. We had some of the most fabulous food!

Our hotel room came with a free breakfast. It was okay. The second morning I got a LONG BLACK hair in my scrambled eggs. Trauma! Thankfully it was the first forkful and I hadn't eaten any of it yet. GAG.

We actually ran into my aunt from Richmond at the hotel. She was also on a shopping trip with her sisters! What a small world.

The bargain were far and wide. I got clothes for the kids for practically free and other assorted odds and sods. I did get a few things for myself and Keith found what he was looking for too.....good deals all around.

I admit that one of the things I was most looking forward to was the famous fish tacos that Kori had blogged about a month or so ago. I am very pleased to report that they were just as delicious as I had hoped! Goodness....fish tacos....where have you been all my life???? I just need to clarify that Keith and I shared that plate...even though I could have eaten two :)
