I took a bike ride to one of my new favorite places, Volunteer Park, and went into their Conservatory (it's only open during the day, so while I do walk to Volunteer Park quite a bit, it's usually in the evenings and I miss the Conservatory).
There's an orchid room, a cactus room, and a fern room.
And then there's the seasonal room, which rotates five times a year.
I so enjoyed seeing it full of all colors of hydrangeas (my favorite flower and not officially blooming til summer) and easter lilies.
Here is a view of the sunset from the top of the water tower at the other end of Volunteer Park.
I spent a lot of time with my friends Kara and Brandon (they're the ones who had the wedding on the farm last summer). We went to a Good Friday service at St. Mark's Cathedral, which is a magnificent Episcopal church up a hill about a 15 minute walk from my apartment. They have a big backyard we like to eat in.
I also went to a Mariners game with my friend Alana. This night was a rare win for them, and it was a great game to be at with lots of action--15 hits. We sat in the best seats I've ever had, on the bottom level near first base.
Alana and I went to Ben & Jerry's free cone day with my mom.
Mylee is now living at home with her best buds, Ali and Silas, while Holly finishes at PLU and packs up her apartment.
We had a nice Easter, going to church and the brunch there. My mom and I played the bells at both services. We went out to a Mexican restaurant for dinner :)
Also this week I baked muffins and an apple pie, visited my mom and her special ed students at school, had lunch with a friend, went for a lot of walks when we had sunshine, ate at the Melting Pot and went shopping with Holly, and joined my mom and dad to pick up a new Miata.
This Thursday, my dad and Michael and I leave for our mission trip in Ensenada, Mexico. We'll be going with 25 other folks to build two houses.
