17th anniversary (july 2016)

Next up for July was mine and Kevin's 17th anniversary! 

To celebrate we got away for the night, heading up to Bellevue Place for some fun and relaxation. 

We figured this would be a great spot, since lots of shopping and restaurants (and even an urban park and waterfront) are in close walking distance. 

First we crossed the street from our hotel for dinner at Maggiano's (http://www.maggianos.com). Pretty sure I had a spiced shrimp bruschetta that was quite delicious!

Special little treat (lemon cookies) for our special occasion.

Then we watched an evening showing of Tarzan.

A quick stop at Frost for some mint hot chocolate and then back to our hotel.

The next morning we slept in (sorta), worked out, and then walked over to the Downtown Bellevue Park (http://www.ci.bellevue.wa.us/downtown_park_and_rose_garden.htm). Makes me laugh that we're in coats and sweaters here--it's July people!!

Then continued our walk down to a hidden waterfront park.

Then for one of my favorite parts of the trip (and favorite places to eat), lunch at Din Tai Fung!! (http://dintaifungusa.com). This place is so amazing. Amazing dumplings and best green beans in the world!

And finally a little window shopping and another stop at Frost for some more sweetness before heading back home to the kiddos. 

Thanks, Hon! Such a great anniversary and such an eventful, exciting, crazy, hilarious, maddening, and wonderful 17 years together.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
