365 Challenge - Week 7

There's a lot of my face in this weeks's pictures. Enjoy!

February 14 - I spent Valentine's Day with my family in The Woodlands. We grabbed a late brunch at the Black Walnut Cafe and afterwards my mom made her traditional Valentine's Day molten chocolate lava cake. Yum!!



February 15 - Last week, Texas A&M made national news, but it wasn't for something that the university was proud of. Some high school students visiting students encountered some less than welcoming students. You can read more by clicking here. After the incident, the student body came together to write thousands of letters to the visiting students effected to apologize. I snapped this picture in an area frequented by students. The box was filled with letters that would be taken to the high schoolers the next day.



February 16 - On Tuesday, I went to the A&M men's basketball game with Aubrey. The men played and beat Ole Miss, although it was touch and go for a while. We had great tickets to the game and I had a lot of fun!



February 17 - On Thursday, I spent most of my evening packing and getting ready for Kellie and my trip to Seattle. Thankfully Aubrey was there to distract Tucker while I did laundry and packed for the weekend.



February 18 - On Thursday, Kellie and I left before the crack of dawn to head to Austin to catch our flight to Seattle. We decided to take off Thursday and Friday and have a four-day weekend up in the northwest. One of the first things that we did when we got to Seattle was enjoy a tour of Theo's chocolate factory. We learned all about how chocolate is made and how Theo's makes theirs organic and fair trade. Best part? We got to taste a ton of chocolate and we got these awesome hair nets!



February 19 -  On Friday, Kellie and I woke up bright and early for brunch before our Woodinville wine tour. After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we were picked up by our tour guide at our hotel. That's when we learned that we were the only two on the tour! We visited Chateau Ste. Michelle and some other tasting rooms in the area. We had a lot of delicious wine!



February 20 - Saturday was an exciting day! We started out with a VIP tour of Pike's Place Market and tried a lot of different market food- so good! Afterwards, we got brunch at Agrodolce- also so good! It also involved bottomless mimosas (which we also did on our New York trip; two times is a tradition, right?). After watching the last few minutes of the men's basketball game when they beat Kentucky in overtime, we headed out on a scavenger  hunt in Seattle that Aubrey surprised us with. The end location- a speakeasy in downtown Seattle! It was a blast!
