Visiting Ellen

By Heart2Heart | Homes and Interiors, Travel, Velada 2012 | No Comments

I was so happy to visit my batch mate Ellen! Ellen is such an easy person to talk to and she is very open with me which is why I enjoy her so much!

In such a short time, I was able to catch up with her and am happy to know she is happily married with a beautiful son!

Ellen told me that she met her husband, Jeremy, through an online dating website!!! It’s amazing because Ellen and Jeremy are such a perfect match! I am so happy for my friend!

Beautiful family photo

Their blessing 🙂

Parker is such a cute baby!

Thank you Jeremy and Ellen for sharing your home with us!

Guest room which is on the ground floor of the house

A beautiful Filipino artwork

Going up to the 2nd floor which is their cozy living room, dining room and kitchen

Parker’s toys! 🙂

Parker is such a good boy, he even closed the safety door 🙂

I love watching the mother and son move around the house. Ellen preparing Parker’s milk as he is about to go to bed

Instructions for Parker stuck on the ref

Ellen used to work for Microsoft which explains the piggy magnet on the ref

The third floor is their bedroom

With a super beautiful view of Seattle!!!!

And I watched Ellen put Parker to sleep 🙂 while we were making kwento 🙂

Cafe Lago, Seattle

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

I try my best to get in touch with all my batch mates and friends. And when I travel to where they live, I want to catch up with them and find out how they are in their new life 🙂

I was so happy I finally got to visit Ellen in Seattle! We have been planning this for a few years now and finally got to go to Seattle! And to show you how fast time flies, she is now married and has a son, Parker!

She took us to Cafe Lago for a quick dinner, Thank you Jeremy and Ellen!!

And here is the complete family!! with husband Jeremy!

Our table

Poor Parker, who was so hungry already

Ellen told me that she feeds Parker sometimes with this:-) I’ve been left behind with inventions in the Mommy category. Now they have these squeeze tetra packs that work so easy and well. You just attach a spoon and squeeze and feed directly to the child! 🙂

Parker enjoyed it and finished it so fast!!! 🙂

Eating bread 🙂 And a new invention – a bib that catches food 🙂

Such a happy baby 🙂

And here is the happy dad who helps out. Happily showing us his diaper dude

Which has a checklist for dad! 🙂

And our dinner from the wood fired oven pizza

YUMMY!!!

Ellen’s dinner, lasagna, which she did not really get to eat, so we took it home

Etta’s, Seattle

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Etta’s is one of the favorite restaurants of my brother, Noey, so we ate here!

It’s down by Pike Place Market

Love the hand blown glass lamps – which Seattle is known for

My brother’s favorite dish, Flash Fried Calamari

Josh’s Arugula

Steamed Dungeness Crab

My order, Beecher’s Grilled Cheese!!! OH MY GOSH!!! I am so glad my brother forced me to order this! THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE I have ever tasted!! I am telling you, I have tasted many of the BEST dishes in SEATTLE!!!!

Dungeness crabcake – I ordered every crabcake in every restaurant but nothing compared to Elliot’s crabcake

Oysters of course for Dad and Mom

Handcut french fries, another favorite dish of my brother. This was really good! 🙂

Good thing James’ fish and chips had fries too 🙂 We also ordered fish and chips hoping to find one as good as Steelhead Diner, but nothing compared to it

Barking Frog, Woodinville Wine Country

By Heart2Heart | Accomodations, Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

My friend, Ellen, recommended that we go to The Herb Farm which is supposedly their version of French Laundry.

We tried to reserve but they were closed for lunch and the concierge recommended the next door restaurant, Barking Frog. So we drove around 40 minutes away from the city to Woodinville Wine Country. It’s beside the Willows Lodge
