30th Birthday

Hard to believe that the big 3-0 is already here! Although the celebrations were sober on my part, I had a great time celebrating with friends and family!!  Friday night Pat and I enjoyed a great dinner at The Melting Pot. Neither of us had been there before and enjoyed the food and the novelty of fondue. We didn't quite realize it was so much food, or that you actually cooked your own meat :) We loved the evening together and opportunity for a fun date night.

In the morning I did a great hike around Deception Pass with the other birthday girls Elaine and Christen, as well as Erica, Madison, and Rachelle. We loved the hike--easy at parts, exercise at parts--and the views around the park. After our hike we enjoyed a great lunch complete the cupcakes compliments of Elaine!  For dinner my family and I went to the Chili Parlor. Ceej hooked us up with great food, as always! Some friends came to meet us for drinks after. Although I forgot to take pics for the most part we got a few as we celebrated.

Sunday we had a great day with my many of my Cohort members on Tana's tugboat. We cruised around Ballard, Fremont, and Lake Union out on the water. It was a beautiful day to be out on the water and it was super fun to be on a tugboat. Pat talked with Tana's husband about the engine and other random engineering stuff :) Hard to believe my time with my cohort is coming to an end...but also exciting to be getting so close to graduation.

Here are pictures from a great weekend!!
