Up The Creek With A Paddle!

Okay it wasn't really a creek, it was Lake Union and at some point we were going against the current ... so it kinda works? :P So I tried paddle boarding for the first time yesterday and all I have to say is it was SOOOOO much fun! Hold on, let me repeat myself....SOOOOO much fun! Times like that are when I wish I lived somewhere warm and sunny all the time within walking distance to a nearby lake or ocean. Seriously this is one hobby that I would love to do every day!

Kristen flew in town from San Diego so we spent the whole day in Seattle, just relaxing and having a blast! I love that Kristen loves to be active because usually we will always partake in some sort of activity when she is home! We had Thai food at Jai Thai, drank at Brouwer's Cafe, went paddle boarding and even indulged in some local organic chocolate. In so many words, the day was heavenly! Mmm chocolate!

Have you ever had the chocolate at Theo chocolates in the Fremont area? Heaven!! They had the most creative and unique flavor chocolate I've tasted! The best part? It's the only organic, and free trade chocolate factory in the US...which makes it awesometastic for my taste pallet!

Jai Thai ... ok so here is where the "foodie" in me comes out, apparently they have a great reputation for the best Thai food in Seattle. Maybe it was the dishes that Kristen and I had, but they were very similar and only "okay". I had the Country Curry and Kristen had the Phad Phak. I am always open to giving places another chance, especially because what we had was good it just wasn't what we were expecting. The Country Curry, I assumed would be thick and heavy like normal curry dishes but it was a lot different...soupish. You know how it is when you have a craving and an idea on how a dish should be then you get it and its completely different? Yep my experience.
