she's a beauty.

It was right around age 13 that I fell in love with the University of Washington campus. David (my stepdad) took me there along with my cousin (yes, Lorinda) and a couple friends. We walked the campus. Looked in the buildings. And, while I didn't attend this university, I have always held a special place in my heart for it. So, this weekend when Troy and I went to Seattle we stayed in the U District, strolled the campus, visited the Burke Museum, went to U Village and Trophy Cupcakes (brought home a dozen -YUM).

The UW - she is a beauty.




An anniversary celebration wouldn't be complete without cocktails. We went to The District. I had a (couple) Yazi Kazis - made with ginger vodka (there was a piece of candied ginger at the bottom of the glass - LoVeD it!). Fabulous.


Perfect anniversary trip with my hubby. Fourteen years! - we've made it through the seven year itch twice! :)

    Nice pictures. I really like the first one.

    You also caught the elusive moon that I tried to get on Friday night but had disappeared behind the clouds before I got home! :o(

  6. Happy anniversary! I waited and waited for you to bring me my cupcake last night. I'm sure you were probably busy unpacking though. Perhaps you'll bring it tonight?
