Saturday started out as an all day bachelorette party. Richard, very kindly, took me to the Kingston ferry where Kami met me on the other side. It was really great timing too. The ferry was just docking as she was just about to taking the road that came down to the terminal. After stepping out of the terminal I waited probably about 2 mins before she pulled up. I doubt that will ever happen again so nicely. Ooh, and I managed to get a savery crepe from the place in Kingston. It takes forever sometimes, but they sure taste good. :)
Kami and I went from there to Al and Cas's house. We traded cars, as Cas was driving and headed for what's probably my longest car ride from Lynnwood to downtown Seattle. It took close to 2 hours due to road construction. We made it and even found some parking at a good price.
Our first stop turned out to be wine tasting at a place called The Tasting Room. They do only Washington State wines, probably about 7 wineries at that. We all tried slightly different things. The Theo Chocolate plate was quite good though. From there we went to a tea shop that does free samples. They had probably 100 different teas, all from China, and serve the samples in traditional style with the mini tea cups and making sure to rinse the tea, etc. It was fun and I picked up a new tea. Plus I now know where I can get some more Chinese tea when I run out.
We ended the daytime shopping with a trip to Babeland. All high class and no smut. What bachelorette party would be without?
For dinner we went to place called Purple Wine Bar and Cafe. There's a few around Seattle, but we went to the one in Woodinville. The main dining room was full so we got to sit upstairs in the "lounge". It's not closed off to the dinning room but it's got lower tables and love seat sofas to sit on. We had a great dinner and tasty dessert. Plus good wine! They even gave us my dessert free and said "Cheers" on the reciept in place of the price. It was cool.
Today was the bridal shower half of the weekend. Going into today I didn't really know who was all coming. Cas asked me for a list of people to invite, so I did. It turned out pretty well, although slightly ackward at first. I'm not used to being a center of attention so ... yeah. It was also my first time attending a bridal shower! The cheesy games were even kind of entertaining.
I've got cards with advice written on them that I can now add to my wedding scrapbook when I get around to making it. Richard and I enjoyed reading through them after everyone had left. I think everyone had a good time.
