U-District Farmer’s Market
Yesterday I went with Kevin to the U-District Farmer’s Market. It was actually my first time going, despite living only walking distance from it for roughly 7 years. Below are some photos (as I moblog this from the ferry):

Hiking to Otter Falls
On Saturday, Ryan, Kevin, Taylor and I hiked to Otter Falls near Middle Fork, totaling 10 miles roundtrip! The trek was certainly worth it–Otter Falls is a pretty epic “hidden gem”, if I ever saw one. First, to give you a sense of scale, here are the falls as viewed across Lipsy Lake. Find Taylor…

Jamie Meets Giant Tree
Ryan recently finished uploading his photos from our last hiking trip. This is one of my favorites.

Hiking Middle Fork
As you may have seen from the moblog below, last weekend Ryan and I went camping at Middle Fork with Kevin, Sean, and Ash. We had a pretty sweet site right by the Snoqualmie River and spent two nights there where Ryan demonstrated his expert fire-making skills and we successfully evaded the Washington rain (for…

introPLAY Picnic at Discovery Park
Photo by Kevin Pittman Today we had a picnic at Discovery Park to celebrate the end of our introLEAGUE. The weather didn’t look so hot this morning with its completely overcast skies and temperature in the low 50’s. However, by popular demand we went out anyway, in true Northwest spirit. Once there, not only was…

I mean, I’m a definite northwest girl who enjoys her gray skies and misty rain; however, this fall/winter dragged like none other, say…

The Griddle
Last weekend when I was in California with family, my cousin Jenny took us to the famous Griddle Cafe in LA. We didn’t see any famous people on this visit; but in truth, the pancakes are the real stars at this joint. Upon arrival, just reading the menu had me practically hopping in my seat…

Enjoying Wine at the Needle
Last weekend before Aaron’s birthday party, a couple of us went up to the Space Needle for wine tasting. Ryan found a pretty sweet voucher online that got us up to the top for free, rather than the overpriced $16 it usually costs. Despite the hordes of tourists, it was pretty nice to see the…

Valentine’s Day
Last night Ryan and I went to Purple Cafe and Wine Bar downtown for dinner and then out to Benaroya Hall to see the Seattle Symphony perform Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony. It was super awesome. <3 Just like us. Har har.

Snowshoeing
So I’ve finally discovered by snow sport of choice: snowshoeing. That said, today Ryan and I went with Kevin and some family and friends snowshoeing. And right now, I must admit I’m pretty tuckered out. It was a pretty leisurely trek though and the weather was actually rather nice, not that cold and even sunshine.…
