We've been busy the past few weekends with moving, but we had a little more time this past weekend to go out and do things.
We had to exchange something at The Container Store in downtown Bellevue, so we did that on Friday after work. We also tried a Taiwanese restaurant there. Neither of us had ever had Taiwanese food, but this place was rated highly on yelp and sounded more appealing than the higher-profile chains in the area. When we got there after 6, the restaurant was packed, but after a bit of a wait, we got a table and ordered small plates of pork burger and sweet potato dumpling to go along with our main meal of chow mein, and pork fried rice. After dinner, we got some tea and wandered around Crate & Barrel.
On Saturday, we were blessed with a beautifully sunny day. While it was fairly cold outside, the sun was shining, which made for a big contrast from previous cloudy and wet weekends. After our bagel adventure, we took a nice walk through downtown to the Cinerama, which had been remodeled a few months ago. Despite having won Best Picture just a week before, there were plenty of seats inside the huge Cinerama theater. The picture and sound at the theater was quite good, and we both enjoyed the movie. We could really feel how stuttering impacted this man's life and the nerves of people around him.
After the movie, we took a bus down to a furniture outlet store in SODO. We didn't see any particular furniture that we wanted to get, but we did buy some decorative leaves to put on our green wall. While SODO has been a rather industrial area, there are also some furniture and design stores in the area. We also stopped at a Starbucks for tea and then went to Krispy Kreme to have a few donuts to tide us over until dinner. We then made the bus that would take us back home.
It was definitely nice to be able to get out and do things this weekend.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

It's a good thing I know what movie you're talking about, since your post doesn't tell me. :)
Oops. Yes, we saw The King's Speech. It was really good. I love Geoffrey Rush.
I'm bummed about Noah's as I only just found it! But I'm also a pretty big fan of this place up on 12th: http://eltana.com/menu/
Les, have you seen Geoffrey Rush in Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth movies? The movies are pretty over the top and silly, but they're entertaining and Geoffrey Rush is awesome.
No, I haven't seen those. I should sometime. Geoffrey Rush seems to be good in any role.
