A truly Northwest Weekend

Last weekend Mark I and did everything Northwest (alright maybe not everything). We started out Friday and went furniture shopping. After 12 different places with widely varying price tags we did see a $14,000 couch) we decided on a set from Macy's and some chairs from this furniture place up the road. The chairs were delivered today and the couch, loveseat, and chaise will be delievered next week. Here's a sneak peak at our chairs. It is a light blue color which can't be seen in the chair and our other furniture is chocolate brown. So maybe furniture shopping wasn't so NW but the rest of the weekend was.





On Saturday, Mark really wanted to go on a hike. As many of you know, I'm not much of a hiker. So, Mark found the #1 best hike for kids and it was right up my alley. There was quite the elevation change, but definitely not the "plummeting to my death factor" as our Hawaii hike. Afterwards we went to Golden Gardens ( a little beach park) and had an evening with a beach BBQ. Fun times and good people watching.


On Sunday we continued our NW weekend with a visit to the Ballard (that's our neighborhood area) farmer's market and then we went kayaking on Lake Union. We quickly discovered Lake Union kayaking was not relaxing due to all the large boats going into Lake Washington, but we had fun looking at the skyline.
