I was so lucky to have a full day of Sarah in Seattle before having to share her the rest of the weekend. We had a slow morning with coffee and breakfast at home. The weather was just lovely, as it surprisingly has been my whole time in the PNW, so we walked around Ballard again. We got coffee at Anchored Ship Coffee Bar, had a Rainer beer while shopping around Filson, and meandered through a few other shops, all of which Henley was welcome in. We picked up sandwiches to go at The Other Coast Cafe, walked home, then the four of us went for a run around Discovery Park, as if I needed to be more sold on Seattle.
We showered and made ourselves look presentable because Sarah’s uncle was taking us all (other family in town for the wedding) out for a very fancy dinner at Aqua. It’s nice to do that once in a while and pretend to feel like you belong and feel completely at ease at places like that, just to make sure you can still do it. Pretend, I mean. “This $150 entree is not shocking at all and I feel it is completely reasonable to eat one plate of food for that price instead of feeding a family for a month.” See? I nailed it.
(Seriously, the food was delicious — I chose a less expensive meal — and we had fun and it was incredibly kind and generous of Sarah’s uncle to do that!)
We ended the night with some wedding prep. The pieces of this wedding not yet tied beautifully together are already beautiful as they sit in boxes in the apartment. It is going to be a lovely weekend.
