Mallar and I have been taking advantage of the good weather these days. On Saturday we decided to go to the Seattle Aquarium for the first time and then walk around downtown taking in the scene. The aquarium was fun but not as impressive as I had hoped.
I felt a little incomplete without a throng of young children to corral through the exhibit areas. Hard not to smile at the enthusiasm of the kids we tried not to trip over on our tour. It seems to me that strollers are a handy way to mow your way through the crowds. ahhh... the perks of parental "right of way".We stopped for lunch at a really great Italian place in Pioneer Square called Café Bengodi. The place only seats about a dozen people and feels warm and charming as soon as you walk in. The pasta there was incredible -simple ingredients but all quality. The cannoli was really yummy too.
One of our last stops before coming home was at the Elliott Bay Book Co. (also in Pioneer Square) -a sumptuous bookstore with over 150,000 titles. Now there is a place to whittle away hours. There is a café on site too.
