Thrilled with our ongoing summer weather, wanting to take advantage of it while we can, Seattlest hopped on the bike on Saturday and headed downtown. We haven't given nearly enough face time to Olympic Sculpture Park since it was pulled together, so that was our real destination. We had a book in our sack, and intended to just lie in the warm grass and read. Of course, once we got biking, we couldn't stop ourselves. It's so easy going down Capitol Hill to the waterfront, it just made sense to forge on. more ›

Was this year's Seattle Cheese Festival a little smaller than usual? Or has our appetite for free cheese cubes grown exponentially over the last four years? Whatever the case, the 2008 Cheese Fest was in full effect. We went Sunday, assuming that the temps on Saturday made for a whole lot of gooey, melty cheese, not that there's anything wrong with that. Sure, there were plenty of people at the Market, but we know how to deal with crowds (after all, we are from a City): You don't stand in a proper line, like a good, patient, uptight Seattleite. No, you dart through the crowd, you duck in and out of line to get your cheese samples, you are stealthy like ninja. That was our experience at least.
