James and I spent last weekend in the Ballard, following the recommendations of a foodie blogger, Emerald Palate. It was an enjoyable way to frame a weekend of great little activities. We ate at Mr. Gyros for lunch (top 100 favorites on Yelp), strolled around the Ballard Locks and checked out the Thomas Dambo's Troll, "Frankie Feetsplinter" Troll at the Nordic Heritage Museum. After popping into a few thrift stores, we had cocktails at Percy's & Co which had an apothecary-chic vibe. We then checked into the Ballard Inn which is right in the heart of the action of Ballard. We had a delicious dinner at Sabine, a Mediterranean restaurant, and got to sit at their fire table (a big plus on a chilly February day). We stayed up late for a Taylor Swift cover band, "13 til Midnight" show at the Tractor and popped into King's to see what the young people are up to these days. The next morning, we went swimming at the Olympic Athletic Club and brunch at Stoneburner. We also got to meander through the Sunday morning Ballard Farmer's Market. What a fun weekend!
Then, at the end of the week, James and I celebrated Valentine's Day early by seeing the Hamilton musical at the Paramount and eating at Wild Ginger! It was the best Valentine's Day surprise ever! The cast blew me away with their incredible performances and energy. WOW! But most of all, I'm so happy for what James and I are creating together and am so grateful to have him in my life!
