Garage Sale Weekend

Boy oh boy does it feel like summer! 

Every weekend from now until what feels like Christmas is jam-packed with activities, BBQ's, weddings, events and boating.  Bring on the hot weather.  And boy-oh-boy did it finally get warm this weekend.  Pretty sure we topped out around 80 degrees on Saturday. 

But first, Friday night, we took Lizzy to her first Mariners game!  She did ... well she did okay.  Actually she did really well but by 9:30pm she had hit her wall.  We left work around 4pm, headed down to the stadium to get in and get our commemorative train and, because we were there for a CCFA fundraiser (http://www.ccfa.org/), we received our Mike McCready bobble head!  From the stadium we headed to Elysian Fields for dinner where Lizzy ate her first chicken strips.  She loved it.  We saw a lot of friends from college and got to catch up on kids, wedding prep, summer plans ... it was wonderful.  They played Tampa Bay and just womped them 7-0.  We walked around, sat in our seats for probably an hour, walked around a little more and then headed home. 

Saturday was the Tapps Island Garage Sale ... for those not familiar this is simply an excuse to drink bloody mary's and see what crap people try to charge way to much for.  Oh and it is a great way to say hi to a whole bunch of people I hardly see any more.  With the gorgeous weather and drinks in hand we ended up walking the entire island.  Elizabeth was a trooper both with shopping and taking a nap in her stroller (first time in months). 

Lizzy napping in her stroller ... haha!

We headed out to dinner Saturday night to celebrate my best gal's birthday ... yet another delicious dinner at C.I. Shenanigans.  It was prom which was entertaining but the food was amazing, the view even better and the parking spot - right up front (okay come one, Tacoma waterfront on a sunny Saturday, you know you are jealous!). 

Sunday we had brunch with the girls and their girls, always fun and probably been a year since we had done that exact breakfast get together.  Lizzy went in the swing for the first time and needless to say she did not enjoy it.  This should prove interesting as we just bought her a swing for her first birthday!  Haha!  After brunch and the park we headed to my sister's to visit for a bit.  It was nice to just hang out and chat for a bit. 

Overall another busy weekend ... I love summer and hate summer for this reason, but more love it!  Bring on the sunshine and the summer fun!
