A Love Story...

Even though I think that Valentines day is the worst holiday ever invented, I am not a complete Scrooge, so I am posting about our evening.

We started out by meeting the Olesons for hot wings at Hooters for our annual anti-Valentines Day wing eating! It's a fun way to share the holiday and hope to continue the tradition for many years to come, because what's more Anti-Valentines day than Hooters?

Eric and I have been talking about going down to the waterfront for quite a while. Here's where the "love story" kicks in, so you understand our LOVE for the waterfront in Seattle.

Rewind 3 years...

Eric and I had been hanging out for a while, and decided to go on our first "real" date. We went to the waterfront to have supper and pick out some ticky-tacky tourist items to complete my "Seattle themed" kitchen decor I was going for. We wandered into the Bay Pavilion part of the Waterfront, It's full of arcade games and a huge indoor carousel. We found ourselves playing Ice ball (or Skee Ball) for the entire evening.


And, as the gushy girl I was (and still am) I asked Eric to take photos with me in a photo booth that was there. I had always wanted to do that with a boy I liked.
As you can tell, the date went well and in a short 11 months, we were engaged and revisited the Bay Pavilion to take photos again and play skee ball, and then again on our wedding night.
It brings so many great memories every time we go.

So there you are ... for all you mushy girl types out there... our Love story of the waterfront. I hope you have a very Happy Valentines day!
