Fantasy Football - Feline Edition

It took me so long to think of a decent fantasy football team name, now I have one! I'm still on the lookout for a better name/slogan but this will do for now. I'm excited for football season to start!

It's CLAMMER Time!

Today we went to Dosewallips State Park for clamming at low tide! The weather was absolutely perfect, and even though we got off to a rough start this morning we made it just in time. Excellent first clamming experience on a beautiful beach. We even all caught our permit limits!

Now I've got 40 assorted clams (mostly horse clams) that I haven't decided what to do with. But best of all, I got to play with sand dollars, shrimps, crabs, a seastar, and other little sea creatures in the mud! Love my Seattle adventures and Seattle friends!!

My First Par (3)!

Today I played golf for the second time (same Crossroads Par 3 course) and I got my first par!!! At the 9 hole I got right near the green on my first stroke, so I HAD to take that picture. And it became my par. Super exciting, and makes me want to play more and more. Looking into adding to my club set and finding the perfect golf ball to match my swing. Can't wait to get better, and can't believe I waited this long to get into golf!

Golf, finally!

Soooo, today I played my first game of golf. After years of the occasional driving range practice and owning a new set of Callaway clubs for no reason really, I finally got out there and did it! I've always had anxiety of being rushed and holding up the queue at a course, but in Bellevue at the par 3 course today that was not an issue at all.

I lost, but not by thaaat much. Mike and I played 9 holes and I got a 48, he got a 41. I'm so excited to play more! The weather is perfect and I've got plenty of time on my hands the next few weeks. Yay summer hobby!

Woodland Park Zoo

I finally got to go to the zoo! And we saw the cutest little baby jaguars. Took lots of fun pictures and in the photobooth we chose the worst photo (instead of the best, since it seemed so boring). Ugh, LOVE SEATTLE SUMMER!

SF + Seattle + NY + Vancouver = MDW

Last weekend, for Memorial Day Weekend I was lucky enough to see my friends from SF! For all of the May babies, we had a huge group head up to Vancouver to party. The i5 bridge in Mount Vernon collapsed on Thursday night, but luckily everyone else seemed to have canceled their travel plans. We actually got to/from Vancouver from Seattle faster than we would on any normal weekend!

We went to Celebrities nightclub for Laidback Luke on Friday night. On Saturday, the Seattle people went to Ramen Santouka and Bubble World. We also walked around a lot after lunch to explore! After heading back to the hotel to get sleepy Charles, we decided to venture out and find a liquor store. We ended up walking really far and visiting two liquor stores where we discovered something amazing called Spicebox! Like Fireball.. but better. With 3 bottles of Canadian whiskey, we headed back to our hotel to get wasted. Charles and I went to get dinner before we headed with Sean to Empire (which used to be Fabric, I totally recognized it!). I got to party with all of my beautiful SF friends in a club that was essentially ours! Love love love my Al Pals. The drink of the weekend was Red Dragon, something else and 151 mixed shots. I also got to see Zach, who I haven't seen since I worked in San Mateo.



Sunday we walked around a bit more downtown and then headed back to Seattle. The traveling and partying was definitely exhausting, but we made it out to see Starkillers at Foundation Sunday night. I'm really glad we went, because I seriously had a blast. I'm so lucky to have friends in two cities, and I love that they love each other. THE BEST!
