365 Challenge - Week 8

February 21 - Our trip to Seattle was far too short! I'd love to go back to explore more, especially the outdoors in some beautiful weather. Although we went to Pike Place Market each day while we were there, I'd love to go back. I wish we had something similar in College Station. We just don't have the population to support it, or the tourism industry. This was one of the produce stands in the market. The muscat grapes (bottom right corner) were delicious!


February 22 & 23- I forgot to take pictures both of these days. Clearly I have not met this 365 challenge, but I'm still doing my best.

February 24 - On Wednesday, I broke into this book. After seeing the play on Broadway in October and listening to the soundtrack on repeat ever since, I finally broke down and bought the book that inspired the musical. I got hooked after reading just the introduction. The history nerd in me is itching to completely blow through this book and absorb the details of Hamilton's life, but I'm trying to pace myself. We'll see how long that lasts.


February 25 -  At our staff meeting... this happened. Because what staff meeting is complete without a wrestler belt being broken out.


February 26 - On Friday night, I headed down to The Woodlands to spend some time with my family and friends for the weekend. My mom regaled me with stories from her and Catherine's (my sister) week of cooking classes at the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio. They had a wonderful time and I can't wait to try all of the recipes they perfected on their trip. While they were there, they purchased me this macaron cookbook. I'll be adding it to my growing collection of macaron recipes.


February 27 - On Saturday, I had a wonderful day dress shopping with Kristin, one of my best friends getting married in October. I'm lucky enough to have known her since the second grade. We've been best friends through thick and thin and she's undoubtedly my partner in crime. I can't wait to stand by her side as she marries Kyle in a few short months. We spent the day with Laura and Rachel, two of her bridesmaids, bridesmaid dress shopping. Afterwards we indulged in brunch and mimosas. If you've been reading these all, you may see a theme developing here...
