Asean Streat in Westlake Center: a unique place to eat in downtown Seattle

January 17, 2023

We have been needing a food hall like this in Seattle forever and thank goodness Asean Streat has manifested itself in the heart of our downtown. Westlake Center is such a perfect spot in the center of our city, attached to Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Center with the Monorail. But it’s been a bit […]

When you go bowling with friends and it’s awesome

September 14, 2013

I’m beginning to think that West Seattle needs to get added more frequently to our “where should we go today” list.  We used to go there quite often when the boys were little but we haven’t been much lately.  And then we accidentally ended up there a little while ago and saw a baby seal! Our […]

Happy Monday Things

July 23, 2013

I’ve been celebrating Mondays recently.  Not only do they give me a chance to settle down and unwind after a weekend they also give me a chance to shop after a weekend of buying withdrawl while hanging out with the family.  And that is probably the sweetest thing ever.  So I love happy Monday things […]

Mod Pizza and men hard at work

May 20, 2012

My guys’ third occupational choice after pilot and UPS driver would probably be construction worker tied with garbage man.  They love the construction exhibit at the Children’s Museum.  They could spend hours there clocking in, collecting supplies, getting their outfits on and screwing things together.  Before having boys I didn’t really have the same appreciation […]

Wild Ginger (Seattle, WA)

November 14, 2010

(PS. I’m not sure what the prices are like now in 2023….for reference my kids are now 15 so we haven’t had a kids’ meal in a while. But I keep posts like this so we remember what things were actually like when our kids were little.  I can’t believe this was a $3.50 meal […]
