Sunny and I ate dinner at the Roadhouse Bar & Grill in Everett. The food was good, Sunny ate a chicken salad and I had a roasted chicken with pepperjack cheese. But what made the dinner memorable was that the waitress kept bringing us food! We had clam chowder, honey buttered bread, and strawberry cheesecake! After dinner we loaded two boxes with our leftovers. We also enjoyed throwing the peanut shells on the floor…

Sunny’s sister Jessica graduated from the University of Washington! In honor of Jessica’s hard work, I’ve posted a few pictures from the celebration dinner at Sunny’s Mom’s house…

Early Sunday morning we toured a Father’s Day car show at Northshore Christian church. There were some great cars there, including the 1967 Camero that I’m standing in front of.

For Father’s Day we spent time with both our Dads. We had a Father’s Day brunch at my Dad’s house and a dinner at Sunny’s brother’s house.

Isn’t Sunny cute…

Sunny and I ate brunch with Sunny’s Dad and Julie at Palisade for Sunny’s birthday. It seems amazing to me that I was just meeting the two of them at Palisade one year ago. Now Sunny and I are planning our wedding… The food was amazing. Sunny had Seafood Joe, Gary had Seafood Louie, Julie had the Country Breakfast, and I had a rib eye steak and eggs. We had a great time. I posted a few photos below.

We booked our honeymoon in Maui! We will be staying at the Westin Resort & Spa on the spectacular Ka’anapali Beach. The Westin hotel surrounds five pools, our room is one of the best, with an incredible view. The hotel is right on the beach. Sunny and I are going to lay out by the pool every morning and snorkel the rest of the day. We booked non-stop flights on Alaskan Airlines.

I copied the images below from the hotel’s website. In August we’ll post our own photos. I can’t wait!

Voula’s Offshore is one of my favorite restaurants for my favorite meal of the day, breakfast! Voula’s is located on Lake Union in Seattle and serves American with a Greek twist. This morning I ate pork chops and eggs, while Sunny ate Voula’s famous Hobo. Their food is outstanding and the coffee never ends!

We ate dinner at Ian and Dria’s house for Laurie’s birthday. Isn’t Charlie cute?
