We're Half Way ;)

I have been lazy updating my blogs, have to admit. Actually, there's a couple of posts i started, still pending to finish hehe...Wanted to share with everyone, this week, i'm at 20weeks of my pregnancy..yay..that's half way. We had a scan last week, and we're expecting a baby boy...haven't thought of names yet. Also this is the first time i'm feeling the baby move, it's really exciting. My stomach is getting bigger ( i put on 6lbs since), and i've had the first stranger asked me at the store when i am due, so i guess it means i'm 'showing'...hehe

Day Trip to Seattle

This blog is past due....We spent a wonderful relaxing trip to Seattle last, last Saturday with EL and Aunty K. Thank God the weather was lovely, we started our journey at 8am after breakfast. Arrived at Corelle Kitchen Outlet at 10am just in time (thanks to EL, i haven't been there) And we bought some dishes and extras. Continue to Seattle, arrive at Pike Place Market about noon. We were hungry by then, and had a nice lunch of clam chowder and fish&chips at a restaurant with seaview. The place was quite crowded, at it was probably the first warm sunny weekend of the year!!

We took a nice stroll at the market, Aunty K and I wanted to buy some fresh wild alaskan salmon to take home. That's when i learned the difference between the 'cheap' salmons i buy at the supermarket are farm-raised. These ones are caught fresh daily from the Alaska Sea...The market ppl provided 24hr cool-pack to keep the food fresh. But we got ourselves a shock with the price. $6.99/lb for farm-raised salmon Guess how much were the wild alaskan fillets?? $21.99/lbs!!! Way over our budget.. Sorry Wye...let's stick with farm salmon.

We then took a walk around the Waterfront and Piers....just some souvenir shops, restaurants and seagulls along with many tourist. EL suggested we drive to the other side of Seattle, i think ti's the West (not sure) where we enjoyed a nice view of Seattle landscape. There were lots of ppl at the beach, diving, cycling, skating, beach volley, and BBQing...what fun!!
Aunty K then treated us with some chocolate chip macadamia cookies and we had hot-chocolate with whipped cream at the cafe for tea...Our next place of interest was of course back to the Seattle Space Needle (as Aunty K have not visited Seattle before)

Our trip ended with dinner...Surprise...Fish&Chips and Clam Chowder AGAIN!!! We arrived back in Hillsboro 12am ....ah...forgot about the Rite Aid FAR sale..would have been a good time ;)
