Hey Saturday.

I am always on the go it seems lately, usually this is not the case but I have been really enjoying getting out of the apartment and seeing new places and doing fun little mommy and me dates with Isaac. Packing up the backpack and heading out for downtown and Fairhaven to do some exploring. We did a little birthday shopping for Isaac (he didn't peek he promised) and ate some donuts. Did I mention how much I love Rocket Donuts? Or just donuts in general actually but downtown they have the best, gluten-free, vegan and your "average" delicious sugar donut treats. I ate two gluten-free ones to myself and bought a plain gluten-free one for Isaac although I think he enjoyed my sprinkle one better. We also decided to pick one up for dad to bring to him at work. If I could I would probably enjoy a donut from there once a week, but I'm not sure thats such a smart idea.
besides eating donuts we went to an old building used for ship parts that is no longer open, but there is something that I think is pretty awesome about it! On the side is a heart in green leafy vines. I saw it one day driving by and today decided to go see it up close. The sad part was that there was a sign up next to it talking about the demolition of building! I am Glad I had went to see it though before they tore the building down.
 There is something so great about Bellingham that I can never explain fully, I think that is what is so awesome is that there are so many cities and places across the U.S. and they all have something that makes them unique. I think the place I call home suits me well, for now anyways. :)
Happy Saturday!

Picture My Day.

Picture this.

I bought an umbrella.

We took the bus for the first time here in Bellingham today.

Isaac people watched on the bus.

The rain was pouring.

We went and listened to music at Everyday Music.

Isaac Loves listening to music in headphones.

Fleet Foxes is his favorite.

Fiamma burger was on my mind.

Veggie burger and sweet potato fries.

We window watched for awhile.

Waited for a bus in the rain.

A sweet sleepy boy passed out in my lap on the way home.

Now he is napping away.

Lunch Date

The other day Eric had the day off and we usually will go out somewhere to eat whether breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Downtown there has always been this small place on Railroad St. that caught my eye but never took the time to try, Man Pies. Its been a locally owned food spot since July 2010, by a woman and her husband. When you walk in the smell of the pies is the first sign that your in a good place. But the best part is you can look back into the open kitchen and see them hand making these little circular pie crusts while watching the steam arise from the oven when they pull a new batch out. Is there anything that really beats a homemade from scratch meal? They had about 6 choices on the menu and I went for the roasted chicken and veggies pie while Eric opted for the BBQ pulled pork. Both were really yummy and the flaky crust definitely made it for us!
After we went to another local Favorite, The Mallard Creamery. They serve house made ice creams in the craziest flavors. We had the sweet potato coconut but some of the wild ones like ghost pepper chili lime and white russian were a little too crazy. The inside is really fun and is decorated with little rubber ducks and the coolest chairs and couches. Ice cream is definitely my weakness when it comes to dessert and this place most definitely fulfilled my love for frozen flavored cream!
 Eric Next suggested we visit our favorite little toy shop in fair haven, Fairhaven Toy Garden. This play is filled with natural toys and fun games. We spotted the sweetest little kitchen we wanted for Isaac's birthday but the display was the last one! He had so much fun playing with it and when it was time to go he was so upset with us. I felt horrible so went went to the ski and bike shop next door and got Isaac his first bicycle helmet, its so cute on him! February 28th, you were a good day.

Front Page News.

The other day I had decided to take Isaac to Marine Park for a little picnic. While there a man began to take photographs of us sitting on rocks watching a boat pass by. At first I'm not going to lie I was a little creeped out but continued to just hang out and enjoy my time. Later on he came up to us and asked our names and told me he was from the Bellingham Herald and was going to put a small story of us in the paper. So I gave him our names and as he walked away he said you guys are going to be famous and I just kind of nodded and went back to what I was doing. The next day it was about 8pm and I was telling Eric about what had happened so I decided to check out the computer to see if we were actually going to be in the paper, sure enough we were on the front page! I know its not the biggest deal but I can't wait to someday share this with Isaac because we have spent so much of our time out on that bay together so I thought it was kind of special. Here is the picture and some from that same day.

Sunsets and Starbucks.

Yesterday Eric had a half day so we decided to take advantage of the semi "nice" weather. We hopped in the car and made our way downtown for a little apple fritters and hot chocolate. Those apple fritters Starbucks has are yummy, highly recommend them! After indulging in some delicious delectables we continued our outing with a little window shopping at a few of our favorite places and then headed back to our car. We had our sights set on home because of the wind and cold, but when we saw the sun setting we had a change of mind. Its hard passing up a good Bellingham sunset over the bay. We decided to drive to a nice little viewing spot from a marina in downtown Fairhaven. This spot is a special place to me. The day I went into labor I went there for a walk with my family to try and get my labor started since Isaac decided he wanted to post pone his due date, silly boy. I collected pretty shells and rocks and have them stored in jars from that day above my stove. Such a simple small thing that means so much. I may have had the biggest grin while typing that. Here are a few little photos of the sights today.
