A few notes:
*** While the new takes over the old in downtown Seattle, why do so many people actually think that this is a good thing???
*** The Seattle Arboretum/Japanese garden kicks a lot of ass. It is one of the best things that Seattle as a city has going for it. I highly recommend a trip to the Arboretum, especially if one is feeling stressed. It will help soothe and relax… trust me!
*** I found a tea house that is awesome in Ballard off 45th and right down the street from QFC (remember that I am not from here, thus the reason why my directions are marginal). The day that I found it the owner was performing a tea ceremony and I found it very interesting. The tea house itself is exceptional and is a great place to hang out.
BTW, Josh kicks ass! He seems to be the one that knows a great deal about what is going on around town compared to anyone else I come in contact with and/or read their blog. Josh is probably a swinger or something like that ;)
