A night away

We had a great excuse to take off for the night this weekend.  Our friend Codie turned 30 and we were celebrating down south so we called in the grandparents for back-up.  September was pretty rough for the Johnston family what with our latest section of siding construction project, my silly shoulder developing tendonitis, not to mention just the normal every day stuff of making sure Deven eats and sleeps normally!!  So I decided that Nick and I needed to relax for a bit.  I found this fabulous bed and breakfast on Capitol Hill in Seattle.  If you ever need to stay in Seattle book a room here - http://www.11thavenueinn.com/.  It's close to down town, a great park, the new location of the Elliott Bay book store, fun restaurants and what looked like some pretty cool bars!  After a fabulous homemade breakfast (omlet stuffed with spinach, cherry tomatoes, green onions and goat cheese topped with homemade pesto and grated parmesan) Nick and I walked all around the area and found a great cafe recommended to us by a friend called Odd Fellows.  We decided...why not eat again and got some yummy pastries and amazing espresso.  Just next store was the Elliot Bay Bookstore where I bought a baby name book and a new book about Otis the tractor for Deven.  We had such a great time.  These pics are of our room, our walk and of the place setting at Odd Fellows.  A night out well spent!!
