So I usually never talk too much about activities I've done on here or give a play by play but this was a fun experience that I happen to have documented with pictures. =) I'm actually quite a simple gal and don't like fine dining and the like...but...I had never dined like this before! And I had the best date ever! =) One of my best friends, Yoshie, and I went to a fantastic restaurant in Seattle. We went to the Metropolitan Grill!! She had a 100 dollar gift certificate from work so we decided to go. So I thought it'd be fun but little did I know how amazing it would be! And I didn't know that pretty much every mariners player, and actors such as Robin Williams and Samuel L. Jackson etc. have eaten there. But the food was so delectable...it was indescribable! So of course I will put up pictures to show my various states of shock, pleasure, and delight. =) But this is also a terrible event because now I've had a taste of the high life and I liiiike it. haha *sigh* Don't know if I can ever eat regular steaks again....=) Just kidding. I'm still a simple girl. But it was nice to experience being treated so elegantly and eating such delicious food. *sigh* Great while it lasted. ;)  Before our feast. =)
 I look scary in this pic but this was my SALAD! It's a work of art!
 So I substituted broccoli on the side and um...they brought me the whole forest. I was wondering how I could chop them all down and eat them. And that steak is my filet mignon (the finest steak there is). Ohhhh it just melted in my mouth.
 Yoshie's HEAPING mound of mashed potatoes!
 This was the NINE layer...let me repeat NINE layer chocolate cake!!! This was not TWO pieces but ONE!!!!!!! We shared a piece!!!!! o_0
 This is my face as I slowly dropped into my chocolate coma...I thought I might die...but oh what a way to go! =)))
 This is Yoshie falling into her chocolate coma...somehow we made it home after this but we don't recall how. ;)
Oh and while I'm showing pics of me and my 'sis'... =) (She was my convo partner and she's a best friend and my twin from the other side of the world) =) We went down to the ocean with my fam. And here's a couple pics...  This was at the beach at Seaside Oregon.
 The cape disappointment lighthouse is in the background at Longbeach WA.
 Longbeach again.
 The coastline is gorgeous here. ^_^
 This is me at my house wearing my Yukata that Yoshie gave me. It is soooooooo beautiful! And my favorite color! ;)
 I love this pic! So we switched places. Now I'm from Japan and she's a UW student from Seattle. (we're both wearing the clothes we bought for eachother). Alright enough pics for now.
But if you read this far you'll know that I'll be updating with pics of Caleb soon! tee hee. Later. |
