Olympia Weekend

I was able to get away last weekend to Olympia to visit some friends & family. I went over to visit my college roomie, Abby, and stayed with her Saturday night. Unfortunately, she was feeling sick most of the weekend but we still had a great time. We got to hike in Tolmie State Park, eat a delicious lunch at Panera, and just catch up which was the most fun.


I also got to see my family. My aunt & uncle ended up only being about 5 minutes away from Abby's new house but my GPS wasn't so smart about where anyone lived so I ended driving around almost an hour trying to navigate from their house to Abby's. I was very frustrated. Time to update the maps.

My cousin & his family live nearby so I headed to their house as well. I visited with him and his wife as well as their adorable 1 1/2 year old Jordan. She was just a cutie and so outgoing while I was there. Her favorite activity was carrying my purse around - although most of the time she just dragged it. Too heavy for her, especially since she would grunt when she tried to pick it up.Saturday evening I got to catch up with another college friend Natessa which was just great fun. We met in downtown Olympia for some delicious desert at a place called The Bearded Lady. Most of their stuff was vegan and gluten free and YUMMY! We probably could have tried everything on the menu if we would have had the money!
Overall it was a nice weekend to get away although I was sad Chris couldn't join me. Soon enough. Next up, a trip over to Bellevue and Snohomish to celebrate our anniversary and a 50th anniversary of Chris' aunt & uncle. But I promise I will blog before that since it is a week away.

Have a great weekend everyone.
