Mom & Dad were out to Seattle for the weekend. Very glad they came, but also very glad they're safely back in Milwaukee now. First thing they did was properly greet & gift Gaia:
Scooby is about to be a snack.
Friday we had a Healing Crisis - a Reiki session for each of them. Dad finally had a third party with awesome intuition tell him to make changes. And then he slept for the next 18 hours. Saturday we went down to Tacoma to the Museum of Glass and then to a salad bar near the mall, which Dad thought was the best thing since... sliced bread. Saturday night we went downtown to the Symphony to be serenaded by Mozart & Bach. It was lovely. Sunday we walked about at the Ballard Farmer's market, and the local art shops before an epic dinner at Staple & Fancy. Fried oysters and Chickpea Squid salad were well out of the Midwestern culinary comfort zone, but I think everyone enjoyed it just fine.
Ballard Farmer's Market.
Appetizer course at Staple & Fancy. Tasting menu is the only way to go.
Dad has claimed that he's changing his diet and was more or less obsessed with finding salad bars. So we went to Whole Foods for lunch today, and it was delicious.
And leftovers to take to work!
All in all, a good weekend. But again, glad it's just me & Gaia in this apartment again. In other news, my brother apparently bought a house today. Some fixer-upper (that doesn't even have a ceiling in the living room right now), but he's pretty excited about it. And I think mildly terrified about taking out a giant loan. So I think Potter Family Vacation 2012 will be a trip to Austin to help with the painting and what-have-you.
Lots of distractions tonight, so I feel like this post might be kind of choppy. Main points to take away: Adam comes home in less than 100 hours and I had a lovely weekend with my parents, see pictures above.
