Day+Two!!+Whew!

= What are your plans for the 4th?? = =We are planning to explore downtown Seattle tomorrow a bit. My son is dying to go to the Space Needle and we're going to rock the Pacific Science Center. If it's not too windy or cold, we will take a boat cruise so the kid can check out the city from the H2O! We've been eating seafood nonstop since we arrived here and tomorrow will be no different! We have giant scallops, white salmon and yummy steaks to cook up tomorrow night for some surf n' turf action! Hopefully I'll manage to get 2 or 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep if my tiny daughter will cooperate with me and STAY asleep and I can get my reading and homework assignment finished so I'm ready to rock all your worlds on Friday with my awesome presentation.-Kristen= Nice Kristen!! Good plans! Making me hungry!

= We're not doing too much for the 4th because both my husband and I have to be up early the next morning. We'll be grilling with my mom and spending time together. Our neighbor always has a big fireworks thing that we'll join for a short time in the evening. - Diana = = My life changed dramatically because my daughter invited a group of people over so I ended up late hostessing. It was fun and I'm glad she did but I would love more sleep! =

Pretty much the same for me. :)

Clean house for relatives who visit this weekend (and plan a fishing trip); read!!; walk the lake with the dogs and a friend; work on this class; avoid Gasworks; cookout! -Jodie
Fun! Need to clean my house too... Keep waiting for my husband to get the hint... = = = I am looking forward to a day of hiking with my husband and two dogs. Hopefully there won't be too much snow! I also plan on getting some of my homework done so I'm set for Friday.:)-TuesD = Perf. = = = = = On the fourth I will be reading for the class and doing catch up homework. We might have a family barbecue but Kenmore banned fireworks. We used to have the men set them off in the driveway and the rest of us would sit up on the deck and my sister would lead patriotic songs. Name ? = Hopefully your sister has a decent voice... or maybe it's more fun if she doesn't! = =

My husband’s birthday is today, so we are starting the 4th celebration early! My strawberry margaritas are famous… J Tomorrow, if the weather holds out, we hope to go hiking in the morning and then backyard BBQ with some close friends. I’ll probably try to squeeze in some homework also… -Annie

YUM!!

== Honestly, I am going to do some class work tomorrow. Having time to roam and test things out is important for me when I am learning something new. I might BBQ with some friends for dinner, but I'll probably head to bed before any exciting fireworks start up--I need sleep and a clear head to deal with the amount of information we're covering. I am not as wiped out today as I was yesterday--my brain doesn't feel quite so full. THANK YOU, ANNIE for your willingness to help me as I found my way through the "delicious" site and set up my first pathfinder. I really appreciate it!--Beth sounds great Beth!! ==

Tomorrow will be filled with reading (for the program and finishing __Divergent__), wrapping up assignments #1 and #2, and starting to get my head around the presentation assignment. In the afternoon, I'll head up to Shoreline for a 4th of July party with friends. Have a wonderful day, everyone--think SUN!!! -Lara Sounds like a full day...

Tomorrow I'll be sleeping in--wah hoo! Then I'm spending most of the day doing homework and going to my in-laws' for a BBQ. --Gretchen Oates Enjoy!!

=== On the 4th of July we are waking up early and eating breakfast at Portage Bay Café. I haven’t had a giant, enormous breakfast in a long time. I’m looking forward to going to a Seattle Mariners game with my wife in the afternoon. Since we haven’t been in the States since last summer, it’s kind of a big deal to be able to go to live events…of any sort. And hot dogs! Disgusting, yet sort of patriotic? Awesome. I’m hoping for some kitschy Americana during the game, like smoke bombs and laser light portraits of iconic American figures – set to hair metal ballads (Grunge!! It's Seattle Dude!!) perhaps? After the game we are eating dinner at The Crab Pot restaurant at Pier 57. We saw an episode of Man vs. Food about the restaurant while killing time in a hotel in Bangkok last spring and it made a lasting impression. Buckets of seafood tossed pell-mell across the table, a roll of paper towels at the ready. Not available everywhere. The daylight hours are surprisingly long here and we both have some work to do in the evening, so I’m not sure if we will try to find a fireworks show. Probably spend the evening on the laptop doing some reading and notes for tomorrow’s class. -- Adam Take advantage of our fabulous location!! Sounds like you are! We saw an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and salivated over a restaurant called "Bizzarro" and found out it was right here in Seattle! Been there about five times since. It's not a Dive at all, so don't know why it made it onto the show, but we're glad it did!! ===

For some reason my post from Tuesday did not show up. My husband, daughter, and I went to the Bothell Family Fourth parade in the SUNSHINE! We had a great time. Suzanne
