We don't usually post about our entire weekend, so I thought I would summarize what we did this weekend.
Friday after work we went to eat at a Thai place called Golden Singha. It was pretty good and not too expensive. After that we went back to the apartment, watched The Shining since it was Halloween, and ate some macadamia nut cookies.
Saturday we took the 8 bus to get some bagels at Noah's. Unfortunately they were all out of most of the flavors we like (asiago, sesame, and sourdough), so we had to try new flavors: sun-dried tomato, everything, and poppy seed. They were alright, but still not as good as the flavors we like. We might start going to a different location downtown to see if maybe they'd have the flavors we like more often.
After bagels, we drove to Kerry Park to see the nice view, despite the rain. We walked around the close by neighborhood in Queen Anne and found another viewpoint called Marshall Park. Across the street was Parsons Gardens, where there were so many colorful trees and piles of leaves on the ground everywhere. I had no idea that it would be this pretty here in the fall.
Then we drove to Georgetown near Troy's work and around south Seattle. There's not much there except some really old run down houses and a few fast food places like Arby's and Subway. We were hungry after only eating bagels, so we went to Red Mill Burgers for an early dinner. We got burgers, fries, and onion rings. It's probably the best burger I've had in Seattle.
We drove home and then walked to Pike Place Market to get some fruit and cheese. Troy only had $2 cash on him and I didn't bring my purse, so we had to go to an ATM before we could buy our fruit. After that we went back home and watched some of the UT-Texas Tech game. Then we went back out to get groceries.
Sunday we didn't do much. Troy went to church early so he could volunteer as a greeter. He accidentally took the garage fob with him instead of the regular fob, so when I went to drive to church I couldn't get out of the garage. I waited a while to see if anyone else would leave so I could get out behind them, but no one ever came, so I had to skip church. Once Troy got home, we went to Sport Restaurant and Bar to watch the Giants-Cowboys game. Needless to say, I was pretty happy when we left before the game was over. Troy on the other hand, was not.
So, that was our weekend. Nothing too exciting, but it was nice to get outside for a while, especially on Saturday to see the fall leaves.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

it's amazing that you both continue to use the word "fob." I had to struggle to remember what the hell it was again. nobody uses that word.
If you can tell me a word that means the same thing and does a better job than "fob", I'll use it, but so far "fob" is the only word that I know of that works for that purpose.
"garage door opener." "car key buttons." "thing."
it's like the word for the plastic cover at the end of shoelaces. there IS a word for it, there's a word for almost everything, but that doesn't mean those words ought to be used. nobody uses that word for the plastic at the end of shoelaces, they just call it "the plastic at the end of shoelaces" or "the plastic thing at the end of shoelaces."
