Happy Belated Birthday Ryan!

So back to our Seattle Trip... hee hee...did you think I forgot?

 We were up in Seattle for Rye's birthday and since his parents had never been to a Mariner's game we thought it'd be the perfect way to spend his b-day.

gotta love it when you sit so close you could be hit! :)

Not quite as avid fans as Rye & I, we left the game in the 8th inning to spare his parents, but not before thoroughly enjoying ourselves, the ballpark food....AND getting free dirt on the way out!!! I was SO excited! (and hello, just paid $6 for the same size here in Hawaii?!) Rye and I each got a bag for Cec. Unfortunately it seriously stunk up the car, and so after the afternoon in the trunk we pushed it under our car in the hotel parking lot and BOO it was gone the next day. (we don't really think someone stole it, more likely they thought someone had forgotten it or the grounds keeper thought maybe it was theirs?)

For dinner we met the remainder of Rye's family at Tutta Bella, our favorite pizzeria in Seattle, only they've opened a new location on the east side, which ended up being only 10 minutes away from his cousins house so perfect for everyone. :) 

rye's tiramisu b-day

did i mention we bent our food restrictions a little? this is my DECAF hazelnut mocha. Oh divine.
