Sign me up for some of those places to eat – I’m sure we can convince Mara & Lee to tag along! The canoeing sounds fun too, but I’m afriad if I ever make it out there I’ll have to veto the Karaoke.. Singing for me is a strictly “in the car” activity! Good luck with all the marriage proposals by the way, there are gonna be some *seriously* disappointed PacNW boys out there!
I live both near Cafe Flora and the Arboretum, and did you know that we have a Cupcake Royale over here, too? Am also in for salsa dancing, bowling, and fringe theater. Have you ever seen Theater Schmeater’s http://www.schmeater.org/ Twilight Zone episodes? Brilliant.
Oh, I’m in for the spa, too! Girlie nakedness! Woo!
Figure out what we did with the DDR pads and see if I can get back up to Standard on the slow songs.
Try behind the couch.
I saw your friend’s blog about the newborn baby, and boy, is the little guy cute! It certainly won’t be easy to leave such cute newbornbabyness behind, will it?
Oh Heavens. This is enough for a Lonely Planet Leaving Home, Seattle edition. I am eager to hear of the success of your escapades. Especially because your blog always makes me.
So.
Dang.
Hungry.
