A Birthday Filled with New Experiences

On July 13th I celebrated my 31st birthday with a fabulous day around Seattle. I started the morning by opening several gifts from Dan and his family. From here we headed over to Capitol Hill to try a new breakfast spot called Table 219. I had read about this restaurant in Seattle Metropolitan Magazine and had wanted to try their French Toast. It definitely did not disappoint!! After breakfast Dan took me to Swanson's Nursery to pick out flowers for my flower pots. With Rufus tagging along we decided to make a quick stop to throw his ball at the school next to the Nursery. He was in doggie heavan! That evening we picked up mom and Amy and headed to the Triple Door where we saw Jesse Cook perform a flamenco guitar show. As this is the type of show we will see in Spain, it made us super excited for our trip. It was such a blast!!! Not to mention the food at the Triple Door is provided by Wild Ginger (my favorite)!! It truly was one of my favorite birthdays full of new experiences!!

This video doesn't even do it justice. For most of the show he had an entire band with him.


A book from Rufus that should say "I Love Rufus" as the story reminds me of him
