a day in seattle . . .

it's been the best day today. i took mom and kelsey and we met zak in university village for lunch. we ate at zoa's, which is a vietnamese pho restaurant, and the fact that it was sunny and in the 80's today meant we could sit out on the patio. delightful.

afterwards we shopped and kelsey found a dress at the lucky store. it is so cute on her. perfect. then we went to ralph lauren and found zak some new shorts, fleece, and shirts. he's set for summer. and i must say that he wears ralph very well.

we met up with phil to board the boat for blake island and have dinner at tillicum village. dinner was a traditional salmon bake and a native dance show. it was a lot of fun. and i learned that we can camp out on blake island and take the dogs. everyone camping out there, it seemed, had dogs with them. i am so excited about this i can't wait to look into getting a tent and such to take out there. this also motivates me to get our boat cleaned for the summer. there island is only accessable by boat. we will get at least one weekend in i hope. the only down side is the weather. today was beautiful, but there is no guarantee in this area. hopeful i am.

i love a good day and today has been one of the best.
