Last night we went to Safeco Field to see the Mariners and to get a Mariners fleece blanket. The blanket was nice but the game, not so much. It's like they don't want to score any runs. Anyway, I still enjoy going to Safeco Field for all the traditions of the ballpark; from the obligatory dog to singing "Take me out to the Ball Game."
Mmmmm, doesn't that look good.
Today was another beautiful day, so we started at the Des Moines Farmers Market by our place. The sun was shining and all of the vendors were out displaying their products. It was really nice. I picked up a few things to make some fish tacos tomorrow and brought them home.
This afternoon we took a trip up to Mukilteo, WA which is north of Seattle. It was a great day to be on the waterfront as the sun was shining and a nice breeze kept us from getting hot. Of course everyone else thought it was nice to. Yeah, it was a little crowded but worth the drive. There is a charming little lighthouse next to the ferry dock making for excellent postcard photos.
After walking around for a while we became a little hungry so we walked into the Diamond Knot Brewery Alehouse for dinner. It is purposefully a dive bar with peanut shells on the floor even. We ordered a couple of their brews and some food. They have several menu items where meat is put on a hot stone that is heated to 750 degree called a stonegrill. Kieko ordered the Cajun Shrimp which was centainly better then the meat sandwich I ordered. I had a french dip type of sandwich which was mediocre at best. Still a fun experience.
I guess I would still recommend the Diamond Knot Brewery Alehouse.
Afterwards, some more walking in a park and then to Seattle for some ice cream at Molly Moon's. This is quite possibly the best ice cream in the region. Kieko had a peach sundae made with Earl Gray tea ice cream and I had a fig/chocolate sundae. That pretty much made my day.
Well, that is all for now. Tomorrow we are planning on some hiking up at Snoqualmie Pass.
