Octoberfest

What a beautiful day for beer tasting in Seattle! The Fremont Octoberfest did not disappoint with hundreds of beers, brats and pretzels, and lots of crazy people to watch.

Happy Birthday Paul!

Paul's birthday weekend finished up with a family dinner at Marrakesh, a Moroccan restaurant in Seattle. Yes, that is a towel on our lap - almost everything they serve is eaten with your hands, very authentic!


His present from our entire wonderful family was side bags for his motorcycle - can you see the excitement?!?!


Happy birthday to my amazing husband!

Mmmmm....chocolate.....

As many of you know, Paul absolutely LOVES chocolate. So as a birthday weekend activity, I took him to Boehm's candy/chocolate factory for a tour and a little taste testing.


Decked out in his cool hat, tasting single-bean chocolate from South America.

M's Game

I scored some free Mariner's tickets so we decided to take Brooksie to her first game. As a bonus, it was free blanket night!
