OK, so, really... today is June 7, and... I could see my breath today! What? Why is it so cold here!!

Today Dan and I got a late breakfast/brunch at this place called The Dish in Fremont. It is one of Dan's favorite places for breakfast, with good reason. I had a scramble with all this random stuff in it... it comes with red potatoes and a scone! It was so good!! They also have a large array of hot sauces to make your meal even more tasty! I have a feeling this place is busy quite often, but I am sure the late time and the crappy weather helped us get a seat pretty fast. We sat at the counter, so we could see into the kitchen and the pancakes looked amazing! So did the lunch sandwiches. They close at 1:30, and do not take credit, but those are the only downfalls I could see.


I had to get gas today. It was sad, so sad. And I went to the cheap gas station on 15th... the Shell on Denny was 4.449/gallon! Ha, you can see me in the reflection! At least this tank will last me 2 months...


After that we went to Discovery Park. We first went to the welcome center and looked at the map, then drove to the south entrance, parked there and walked up the trail to the south beach trail. The south beach trail is easy to go down the stairs, but going up the stairs.. OH MY! You always forget how hard it is to get back when you are all excited to get down to the beach. We didn't go all the way down, because we ran out of time, but we will be going back!






Oh and most know that I like funny signs - well I saw two today! Both at Discovery Park!


Now, I am going to catch up on my blog, take a nap, and then get ready for the night!!

Tonight I met a friend at La Carta De Oaxaca. It is a yummy Mexican restaurant in Ballard, also the restaurant I went to with Jeff a few weeks back. I love the salsa bar, especially since I love salsa. It is always so busy, so there is always a wait, but very worth it. I might go ahead and say... 3rd fav restaurant in Seattle thus far?

Oh, and that picture of the sign was taken outside of the restaurant...

After that we walked to this small, but cute, bar called Hazelwood. This dual level bar is intimate, dim and yet still inviting. The actual bar is downstairs and has maybe only 4-5 stools, which were all in use when I was there. To the left you can walk up the stairs to a dimly lit room adorned with a local artists photographs (I am assuming for sale). Chairs are foregone for smoky grey sofas that allow you to get intimate with your guests, or random strangers depending on how busy. There is also a red button upstairs that turns on a light when you look through the periscope type thing, it is just calling you to press it.

The cocktail list was anything but ordinary and I think I would want to try most drinks. They have beers, too, but you will not find your crappy Bud Light type of beers, thankfully. I have a feeling this is the type of bar you should probably keep to yourself, because if too many people know about it, then it wouldn't be as cool.

Upon leaving Ballard, while walking to the car, this man and women approached us with a sob story of his wife's purse was snatched, and they needed cash to stay at the Starlight hotel down the road. Being the nice guy my friend is, he said he didn't have cash on him. The man tried his best to keep being dramatic about his sob story and then said he would walk us to the ATM. He claimed he would send a check... but seriously, one - I don't buy the story and two - if you are the type of person that cannot random come up with 60 bucks to stay at the hotel, how are you going to be responsible enough to send a check to a random stranger? Perhaps I am just so sick of the street people...
