surprises and treats

On Friday afternoon we made a quick dash to Seattle to surprise Teal on Saturday morning for her 21st birthday. We had to be a couple of days early but had a good time in pre-birthday mode. Her boyfriend, Mike, was super in helping us with the coordination.

The place we met was the Vivace Coffeehouse on Denny located just a few blocks from their apartment. While we waited we had treats...a double latte and berry scone for me and jasmine green tea with a vegan chocolate cookie for Rob. YUM!!


And then she arrived, surprised and happy:


We had a lovely weekend with Teal, Mike and Gretchen. The weather was even mostly cooperative. While we were there we even checked out some services in Issaquah (the nearest shopping center to North Bend). We found a great pet store for Tiika and a grocery store for us. There's even a Trader Joes!! Woo hoo!

That's it for now.

Ciao!
