365 Blog-Day 96

We started off the day with a walk through a park on the way to breakfast at Bang Bang Cafe where we had breakfast burritos and coffee-YUM. Then we indulged in Dublin Dr. Peppers that Matt gets at his favorite coffee shop-Bedlam. Marci and Courtney did a little shopping after that and Matt and I sat on a bench. haha Then, we drove to Snoqualmie Falls and watched a magnificent waterfall that is over 100 feet taller than Niagra Falls. It was beautiful. We checked out the local town of Snoqualmie and then drove on to the Chateau Ste Michelle Winery. Little did we know that they were having a Moody Blues concert that night and that we'd be the youngest generation represented. Since there was a concert, everything closed early and we only missed it by a few minutes. :(... Oh well, we enjoyed the scenic drive there anyhow. On our way back to Seattle, we stopped by Ballard Locks and watched a boat go through the locks from the ocean to the lake level. It was pretty cool watching the water levels change that quickly. Matt's favorite restaurant is Local 360-where everything is brought in from a 360 mile radius around Seattle. So, everything is fresh and local. It was wonderful. I had the vegetable and mushroom risotto and it was probably one of the top 10 meals of my life. I absolutely LOVE risotto. We ended the night hanging out with some of Matt's friends and then watching a few episodes of Modern Family.
