the crafty side
on the way to seattle, i knitted these hand warmers. see them being modeled about 5 posts ago on top of the space needle. i also am wearing them in the next picture but you can't see them well. 
i also found this cute quilting store and got some fabrics for a project i am working on. 
we drove back late Monday night and it rained almost all the way home. that's about all.
seattle morning
we stayed at Joe and Jessica's house. they were very kind to let us crash there while they were unfortunately out of town in california, so we didn't get to see them. but their house was so cute and cozy, we really appreciated the awesome accommodations. 
we ate breakfast here.
cocoa, crepe, coffee cake
cookie, yes, for breakfast.
this park was right up the street from their house. it had an awesome view of the downtown skyline but it was a very foggy morning so it doesn't look that good in the picture, but you get the idea.
the journey to seattle
Brandan got off work at 3 on friday afternoon. he got home and we finished packing up the truck and left for seattle around 5. we hit Ontario right on time for dinner and decided to try Brewsky's Broiler and their beer-battered fries as recommended by Brandan's dad. it didn't disappoint, it was delish. since i am obsessed with taking pictures of my food, here's a couple. i got the pulled pork sandwich and Brandan got the taco salad.
we hit the road again and for some reason, didn't stop again until Kennewick...we seriously almost ran out of gas.
see? his truck only has a 12 gallon tank and we filled up 11.86.
we had good weather most of the way there and Brandan got sleepy about an hour out so i took over the wheel. he fell asleep and it started raining a little, no biggie. then it started raining a lot, kind of scary, but there were only a couple other cars on the road so not too bad. then there was fog like you wouldn't believe, i couldn't see a thing. i tried to play it cool, but before i knew it i had to wake brandan up so he could help me navigate. i ended up taking the next exit and making him drive again. anyways we ended up making it there safe and sound around 1 am.

kahootz
Brandan and I went out to a steakhouse in Meridian the other night called Kahootz. It was probably some of the best steak I have ever had and it wasn't too expensive either-for steak that is. It was about $20 per plate. I got the prime rib and Brandan got the top sirloin, I would recommend both. If you ever go there, save room and order the bread pudding too. It is enough for at least 4-6 to eat but it is good as leftovers too. Anyways it was super good. I give the place 5 stars and/or 2 thumbs up.
Other than that not too much has been going on. We went over to Anthony and Candice's this morning for brunch and to watch the morning session of conference. I made my cinnamon rolls and took them over and they had prepared some hashbrown casserole. It was super good. Their kids are cute. I even got Lauren to laugh a little.
I also realized that Christmas is less than 3 months away and I already have some great ideas for gifts this year. I wish I could post about them but it's a secret...I might be done shopping by Halloween though. That would be a first.
