Leavenworth Adventure

We decided it was time for a day-trip adventure because we know nothing about our surrounding Washington area. So we headed into the Cascades to discover Leavenworth, the Bavarian Village! It was so cute! And funny! Observe:

I < 3 giant signs!

Derek < 3's giant knights
another sign!

where we ate... so cute!

also cute! photo taken for my dad, mostly because I couldn't stop hearing him sign Sound of Music lyrics in my head....

(on our drive to Leavenworth... look at that water color!)

Saturday night in Seattle

Pictures from a night of fun -- dinner with Lauren at the Pink Door, followed by some drinks in Queen Anne with Eli, Simon & Co...

I'm not sure what's going on here...

Eli and Simon... yes, they look like this normally

Lauren and her beer!

Lauren, me... and Simon's thumb

I < 3 tipsy fiances.

Superbowl party chez us...

So, we decided to have a Superbowl party with about two hours to spare... here are a few pictures I remembered to take. :)

Derek and I with Emily & Sean. Yeah, we like to call ourselves the "Bridal Fair Survivors"
(okay, no we don't, but we are).

Jen & Andy experience their first American Superbowl

Yes, Emily looks like she wants to kill someone... but I promise our cookie cooking adventure was quite fun! (and yes, I am holding an ice pack to my burned stomach...)

Kobe was there too! And look how cute he is!!!

Jen's Visit!

It took us months to get our collective acts together, but finally, we found a time for Jen to come and visit! Here are some highlights from our touristy weekend adventures...

Jen at the post marking the original Starbucks

Derek, Andy and Jen and the piggy bank at Pike Place Market

Monorail....monorail....monorail!

We're hot. Look, Derek's checking us out.

Love/star-struck?

They're laughing because this is take # 82 and, in the distance, there's a lady yelling "9-1-1" and not referring to an emergency

Yay for west coasters!

"Jen! Quick! Pretend like you're breaking out of Jail!"
(Seattle Center fun!)

Underground Tour! (underneath a skylight... and you thought you were just walking on some pretty sidewalk decorations...)

We end this journey with... a picture of the Scot, his gal and... a utilikilt.
