take me out to the ball game...

We made it to another Mariner's home opener. I believe this is the 14th year we have been going to the Mariner's home opener and Ethan has been going since he was born. He was actually watching the game this year and of course eating all of the candy, fries, and grandpa's popcorn that he could get his hands on. 

And yes, Ethan is indeed wearing noise cancelling headphones. Anyone who has a young child I highly suggest buying a pair of these. They have been awesome!!!

 

sipping the day away in sonoma...

About a month ago I traveled down to Sonoma, California. It was for both business and pleasure and lucky for me, the weather was absolutely perfect. (It was terrible in Seattle by the way.) On my days off I was able to go out and explore the vineyards and also eat at a few great restaurants as well. My motto, when in wine country, eat and drink merrily. 

 (I could get used to this view.)

(Enjoying the wine at twomey cellars)

(Visiting the barrels at arista winery)

(Fantastic dinner at Corks Restaurant)

 

 (Another great dinner at El Coqui in Santa Rosa.)

(Kicked back and relaxed at the Russian River Brewery.)

 

beautiful beachy day...

Seattle had some amazing weather this past weekend so we hopped in the car and took a ride to Edmonds to enjoy it. 

I had done some work in the yard before we had left and saw this super cute bird bath at a local shop there and had to get it. I thought it made the perfect accessory to our cherry tree.

After a little shopping at our favorite cheese shop and the toy store we headed down to the ferry dock to hang out at the beach. It was a packed house down there but we found a spot in the sand and Ethan started looking for buried treasure. (I think he has been watching too much Jake and the Neverland pirates. ;-)).

 X marks the spot!

Start digging.

The pirate's treasure. Thanks dollar store!

 

Checking out the ferry boat.

Another great day at the beach.
