Zoe and her boyfriend Spencer were coming to visit but she got here first, so we spent some fun times with her around the city.
Archie McPhee is a fun shop full of all kind of junk. It's like an independently run version of Spencer's at the mall.
Two truly majestic and elusive creatures.
We have a boat related engagement later on our calendar so I was excited to find this captain's hat.
The store, true to character, featured a rubber chicken museum in back.
The store is located in the Wallingford neighborhood of the great city of Seattle, and this is the Wallingford Beast.
We headed south and did a nice hike in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, Washington.
There were some deer near the trail that were very comfortable with people. I was very comfortable with them so we had a little chill session for a while.
Since buying my McMenamins passport, I'm not sure if not going to a McMenamins every single day will kill me but I also don't want to risk it. This time we visited the Elks Temple.
These guys make their own beer, wine, and spirits. I did a whiskey flight this time.
McMenamins locations, especially the larger ones, are fun because they pack all sorts of different bars, restaurants, and entertainments into them. The basement had a really cool place called the Old Hangout which had a tiki bar vibe happening.
I didn't need three beers but I did appreciate the fact they would arrive in an ammo box.
See, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a conservationist!
The properties are always covered with cool references to the other locations.
