HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENISE

We also had the pleasure of being with Diane’s daughter Denise for her Birthday. It started with husband Dennis going out for fresh donuts in the morning. Then at 4:00 we went for dinner at Chuckanut Manor  on Chuckanut Drive overlooking Samish Bay and the San Juan Islands. The food here is delicious with excellent service. Dennis’s brother and family were there along with Denise’s nephews wife Megan and baby. Dennis had also special ordered a Lemon meringue pie for his sweetie. And if that was not enough he had an ice cream cake waiting at home to be enjoyed all week long. And we won’t even mention the pretty earrings  he bought in Italy for her. Way to go Dennis. Way to score Denise!

MUSEUM OF GLASS

After stuffing ourselves at the Southern Kitchen. We went to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma.   http://www.museumofglass.org/

This museum was inspired by Dale Chihuly’s work.  His work is displayed on the Bridge of Glass.(Which goes over the freeway)We enjoyed the galleries and the demonstration.

Southern Fried Chicken

We had a fun day with our kids Jill and Johnny  along with our cute little granddaughter Lauren. We started the day off with lunch at the Southern Kitchen in Tacoma Wa. This one of Guys Hotspots from his show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We  have been to several of his picks and not been disappointed. Just look at that Mango Lemonade! Starting with a huge plate of fried green tomatoes then cornbread, mac n cheese, greens, of well I could go on and on. It was so good we could hear feel our arteries clogging. But sooooo good!

Boomer friends in Oregon

On the way home we stopped to visit good friends Dianne and Frank, who are house sitting in Canby. We enjoyed a couple of days catching up and of course eating. Just look at the salad Dianne made. Yum! Shrimp cervichi on avocado halves. The weather cooperated, we got to use the outside deck. As always a great visit.
