My mom and dad came from Iowa to spend the holiday with me. It was a 4 day Seattle-Tacoma tourist event. We went to Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square for some shopping and sight seeing. We went on the Seattle Underground Tour, which was both educational and cool. I never would have guessed that the beginnings of this great city were based on shit and sewage. Heh, you learn something new everyday. We saw the Space Needle and ate some super delicious Chinese food. We had a desert called a Ram Potato which was vanilla ice cream rolled in cocoa and served with whipped cream on it (totally delicious). We also went to the Tacoma Museum of Glass, which was really neat.
Of course, it was raining the entire time we were on our tourist adventures; just to really drive it home to my parents that this area of the country is yucky. I can't wait to move to Fort Campbell, and I'm sure they're anxious to visit me in a place that is dryer.
Christmas dinner turned out fabulous. And, of course it did because Ashley and I tag teamed the kitchen and cooked some amazing awesomeness. When put together, the two of us can make a serious feast. I felt like a bloated calf after dinner, and I think that is the best description for culinary success.
I made some Christmas gift cash and spent it promptly today at Pier One. (Thanks Grandma, that's what I spent your money on!) My living room is just that much more cute now because of the new wall hanging I bought. I got tickets to see The Decemberists in Portland in February! I'm super excited to see my favorite band. I cleaned up pretty good. It was a good holiday. I think I'll host Christmas again next year. :)
Nothing like shit and sewage! Glad you had a fabulous holiday.
