We were planning on having Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday with Nathan, but now we only have Sunday. Nathan has come up with a plan that meets our stated objective - visit, eat, drink. It starts out with a trip to a bakery. The line is out the door and for good reason. The pastries are incredible.
Next stop the Kubuto Gardens, a city park fashioned as a Japanese garden. We stopped in an art store that a friend of theirs owns. She makes shadow boxes with layer upon layer of intricately hand cut paper. The complexity of each layer was absolutely stunning.

Japanese food for lunch, followed by machi tea ice-cream stuffed in the mouth of a fish shaped waffle cone (you can’t make this stuff up). After lunch we take a look at the new Seattle Aquarium that is going to open this fall. One of Nathan’s first projects at his job was to create a fairly complex concrete frame for an external staircase. Although the building is still under construction, we were able to admire his work. I was almost ready to stop people on the sidewalk to show people what my son had done (probably not a good idea).
A stop to a tea shop, a stop at a cider shop and an Indian restaurant finished the day. Yes, I believe that we were able to compress 2 1/2 days into 1.
