5th Ave-On The Town

Last night some girlfreinds and I saw "On The Town", at the 5th Ave theater. It is an amazing show! Three sailors are stopped in New York City for 24 hours. The musical follows their story of finding romance and adventure, as well as seeing a few sites.

Spring Barrel Yakima Valley-Prosser

April 23rd-25th:

Spring !!!

Seven people, one RV and a weekend adventure in Yakima Valley for some wine tasting! We all met up after work on Friday and headed east over the mountains. We stopped in Ellensburg for some dinner and then continued on our way to Sunnyside, near Prosser. The RV park was full, so we stayed in the local Wal-Mart parking lot.

We got up really early Saturday morning, I saw the sun rise! I proceeded to try and exit the RV to use the Wal-Mart restroom, however I couldn't figure out how to unlock the door with the two locks.

Eric made delicious breakfast burritos, so we had a good start before all the wine. We first visited Kestrel Vintners and Hogue Cellars. Great wine and a special weekend deal, left everyone with newly purchased wine.

Next, we headed to Airport Ranch. The ranch includes 15 plus wineries, all within walking distance. We parked the RV and walked to the farthest winery, so we could work our way back. Along the way, we smelled fried asparagus and couldn't resist.

The Ranch includes: Airfield Estates, which has a great Dolcetto wine and I loved the name! Gamache Vintners, Milbrandt Vineyards, Olsen Estates, Willow Crest, Thurston Wolfe, Apex, Brigman, Heaven's Cave, Plaza Winery, Tasawik Vineyards and Wine O' Clock.

At some point the seven of us got separated and didn't see each other until much later in the afternoon. Kaycee and I were together and kept going to the different wineries and tasting. We hadn't seen anyone and neither of us had our phones, so we were stuck. We decided to go back to the RV and leave a note.

After leaving a note on the windshield, we visited a few more wineries. We even purchased some jewelry. When we were back near the RV, we saw the door open and ran over. Everyone was back together, so we decided to have a picnic.

After our bellies were full...it was nap time!

Music was blaring from one of the wineries, nap time was over and it was time for more wine.

We closed down Willow Crest with the owners, before heading to a local pizza joint. After Johnny's Pizza, it was back to Wal-Mart for the night.

We were up early again and drove to Ellensburg for breakfast. It was a great trip and the RV worked out great. Thanks for driving Eric...can't wait for next year!

MS Pub-Crawl

Saturday, April 17th:

This was my 3rd year going to the MS Pub-Crawl. The theme was: Pirates in Pioneer Square. I decided to make bedazzled eye patches and sell them for donations. Helped earn a few more dollars for the cause and they sold-out!

The pub-crawl began at Contour at 3:30pm, then continued to: Owl and Thistle, Fado, J & M and concluding at New Orleans. The teams: Starbucks, Microsoft, Point B and Team Free Beer raised more money than they ever have in the past...great job! The turn out was great, the bars were full.

ARRRHHH!!!

Seattle MS Walk

Sunday, April 11th:

Early morning, we had to be at Husky Stadium by 8:30am. Leslie and Penny are troopers! We helped raise awareness and some funds for a great cause and it was a beautiful day!

The walk started at Husky Stadium and then continued on the Burke-Gilman trail until we reached Gas Works Park. There were snacks, live music and clowns to greet us. When we arrived back at Husky Stadium, we enjoyed an Oh-Boy Alberto Sausage.

After the walk, a few of us decided to go to Beijing Herbal Foot Massage in Kirkland for a foot massage. We had heard about the good deal: $25 for an hour. It was an experience that I will never forget!

Your hour massage begins at your head and face, while your feet are soaking. With a surprise for your ears. I don't want to spoil it, so this is all you get. The massage was good, however a little hard for me. I get tense and can't relax, because it is hurting. I felt soar for a few days after. Worth going to experience for yourself.

Aviva's Birthday Celebration

Saturday, April 3rd:

The Great Nabob in lower Queen Anne was the location for Aviva's Birthday gathering. Parking was very difficult and resulted in two parking tickets. :( On the upside, great house drinks: complicated lady and north press, who knew huckleberry vodka was so good!

Happy Happy Birthday Aviva!

Happy Birthday Aviva! Hope you had a fabulous day and didn't have any pranics played on you. Cheers to many years and memories to come!

Remember Seafair and oh, the flag! HaHa...has Jon bought a new one yet?
