MDW 2015 :: Memorial Day Weekend was lovely, lovely, lovely. While on a hike yesterday, I declared to Mitch that I think one of my life ambitions is to figure out a way to live so that every weekend is a 3-day weekend. They are SO wonderful. I also declared that at some point in my life I would like my primary vehicle to be a small-ish, oldish, red-ish(or maybe kelly green-ish) Toyota pick-up truck.

A new rule: Don’t make plans over 3-day weekends. Do leave plenty of time to sleep, relax and be available for spontaneity. And oh my goodness, always WATCH MOVIES. I may have over done it in the movie department. I’m going to spare you every waking detail of my weekend, but you do get the highlights:

I watched 4 movies! 3 of those were on a big screen at the theatre. 2 of those were SIFF films. I could literally spend the next 2 week at SIFF watching movies.

I spent all of Sunday afternoon drinking margaritas and eating chips and guacamole with some friends. During the margarita festivities Macklemore and his fiancé showed up at our restaurant.

I used my REI dividend to purchase a  camping stove that I have wanted for forever and a camping chair that I’m really excited about. The chair is going to be oh so perfect for outdoor movies this summer.

I discovered that Seattle does have a good ramen place. Though, it does not compare to this place in West Hollywood. My parent’s neighbors run this cute ramen shop and it may not look like much, but I literally have dreams about their Tonkotsu Ramen.

And, I spent a whole day hiking. For lunch we packed Bakery Nouveau sandwiches and pastries, which if you’re wondering is THE BEST hiking lunch ever.

I promise, I spared you details. There was so much more goodness. MDW 2015, you were perfect.
