Remember when Seattle won the Superbowl? I’ve never lived in a city before now that had an NFL team so as Seattle neared the Superbowl I got pretty excited and for more than just the chips and salsa. Friends of ours hosted a party for the game and when it was pretty clear we were the winners we were pumped! We also knew that the city would be ecstatic! When the game was over we headed back to Capitol Hill where apparently the party was happening. Everyone was so excited and wanted to celebrate so they just headed out into the streets. People drinking, setting off fireworks (that was a little scary), chanting, throwing skittles and toilet paper in the air were blocking some of the main roads through the neighborhood. It was a little pointless but it didn’t seem to matter it was fun! We crowd watched for maybe an hour and while it was still before our bedtime we headed home (I kind of like Superbowl on the west coast).

Last year Walker and I spend the evening together and we played a fun game of grocery store scavenger hunt and then made dinner together. We don’t make a huge deal out of Valentine’s day but it’s nice to make time for each other. If you’re looking for something low key but fun to do today check out my post from last year.

I’m off exploring the Olympic Peninsula with Walker and my dad who is in town visiting so we’ll be having a family Valentine’s day. I’ll chat with you next week!

Neighborhood block party

October 21, 2013

Last weekend there was a block party one block away from our new place. How perfect! It was a great chance to check out the local businesses and what they offer. Especially the restaurants. I had a super tasty beet salad and a cucumber basil lemonade that was really good.

The block party was put on my the new apartment complex that is being built on the corner (which doesn’t make me so happy-I really dislike the new buildings going up) but regardless I was still curious about what they looked like and they were offering tours. We put on hardhats and took a look around. They aren’t bad but they aren’t my thing (also they are on the pricey side).

It was nice being so close to home because we were a little sleepy after the block party so we just lazied around at home for a little while and relaxed. I really like not having to go far from home to have a little fun.
