Mixed Bag

Seattle...


Seattle was great (minus the noises I heard coming from my neighbor at the hotel - that was gross).I went to an amazing conference, got to travel to Port Hadlock via ferry and meet with some cool people from a potential sponsoring organization, and do service with the AmeriCorps State Program Office on 9/11.


Nice peak!


I consider the timing of this shot with the sailboat quite perfect:)



Near Port Hadlock - not bad! Port Hadlock was actually slated to be the port for Washington, not Seattle. So, there are a lot of really awesome old buildings downtown. It's cute. It's small. I went to the co-op there. It's a pretty hippie place - kinda like a Davis without the university. It was at the co-op that I heard a 5 year old being asked if he was drinking carrot juice and he proudly responded, "carrot and BEETS!" Only in a place like Davis would this happen.



This is the sustainable farm the team would work at - pretty!


Now, on to my thrift store finds...

Cool office supply...this might be coming to work with me.

I found the orange basket thingy most recently (the letter holder was a find from a while back and the little planter I got on ebay). The basket is set by the door and perfect for keys.

Owls!

Clever ice bucket (not sure if or when I will ever use it, but it's a nice design)!
And finally, a little sampling of my recent shots of fruit from the Davis Farmer's Market (America's Favorite!):






No planned trips right now, except for maybe New Orleans for Thanksgiving. Tim and I have also been thinking about heading to Monterey to check out the aquarium. I haven't been there for years. Any other suggestions?
