Olin calls Dae "Bawa" instead of Baba. We laugh about it :)
We made a 24 hour trip to Bellevue and Seattle yesterday and did our usual whirlwind shopping. I tell Ev we are definitely Hill-billies who come into the big city to get their fix of food and groceries!
The Seattle line-up:
1) HMart: Bulgogi, Woori Kimchi (small jars only), seaweed, sides, breads, black sesame soymilk that I am excited to try, shrimp-flavored chips that Dae and I both ate as a kid, and other items.
2) Husky Bookstore: We skipped it this trip :( Upset about the loss.
3) Nordstrom Rack: We hit this two times this trip. Dae got some ties and shirts, I got 3 items of clothing, and we got shoes for Leelee and a few shirts for the kids.
4) Sushi: This time we tried Genki Sushi in Factoria. Conveyor belt sushi is a must!
5) Korean food for dinner: A place in Federal way in the E-mart grocery store specializes in the soondubu tofu soup. It was SO good. One of my favorite parts is at the end of the meal when they add hot tea to the rice clay pot in order to get the last bits of charred rice unstuck from the edges.
6) Cafe Flora breakfast: The last time I went to this breakfast place was in college or dental school so I was really excited to visit again. Dae made sure to ask for the non-vegan option on every dish.
7) Trader Joe's: I love the unsweetened dried mangoes, freeze dried mangoes, mixed nut packs for baby, and hummus.
Some photos from last week:
1) JoJo filled in this sheet for school. Under Loving she put "Mlone" and under Forgiving she put "Ilin" (Melanie & Olin). Very cute.
2) Kids in the car. Baby refused to sleep the entire way up to Seattle yesterday. They finally fell asleep at 4:30 on the way to dinner.
3) Baby loves to push his lips out when he's concentrating.
