My Mom was here visiting last week (you know when it rained everyday?). Highlights were going to various toy stores (Izzilla toys, Booty Land, Precocious, Urban Kids Play), going out to eat (The Flying Apron, The Essential Bakery), book stores (Fremont Books, Elliott Bay), the plant conservatory at Volunteer Park, the Aquarium and of course the Theo Chocolate Factory .I tried to show my Mom a good time but the fact of the matter is, she spoiled us.
Grandma and Eve's fingers at the Aquarium
Watching the sea otters
Smelling the gardenias at the plant conservatory

Scott will never let me take my camera out to eat with us again
The view outside our apartment the day she left. At least my Mom will be coming back when our little Bambino arrives the end of May and hopefully we'll have some warm sunny days then.
Raised in a small South Dakota mining town where he learned the value of a sturdy pickaxe and native tubers, Scott is a man's man who knows the meaning of the word testosterone. Apart from devouring freshly slain beasts of the forest, Scott enjoys sharpening his tools, lifting heavy objects, and throwing a ball at a hoop suspended ten feet off of the ground. He also enjoys Romantic Era poetry and Italian cooking.
