What a Wonderful World...

So Michael was up here for his monthly visit this last week so I thought I'd share a couple of fun things we did.  First off, Michael decided he wanted us to do something a little different for a date, especially since we "technically" haven't had many...although week-long visits could count as one big date, I think.  He had made arrangements for us to go on a dinner cruise and it was AMAZING!!!!!  If you ever have the opportunity and are in Portland, I HIGHLY recommend it!  (http://www.sailscovare.com/)  The captain we had (Shane) was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!  It was really fun and a great way to see Portland!  Here's a couple of pics from our time on the water.

Mmmm...look at all that yummy food! 

Downtown Marriot and more of Portland City lights...beautiful!

Another fun thing we did was my niece, Keira, and I took Michael to "our" zoo...aka Portland Zoo.  Although it rained a little, we were actually able to time our snack runs and hot chocolate stops with when it started to down pour so we didn't get quite as wet as we could have.  Here's some pics of our trip to the zoo!

Keira, the 4-year-old photographer, took this picture of us...not the most flattering of us, but she did great getting us both in without cutting off our heads!

Keira watching the African birds while it poured outside.  We enjoyed hot chocolate while we watched the birds fly around.

On the Jeep at the African Exhibit...too cute!

Michael feeding the Lorikeet.  This is my favorite thing to do at the zoo!

What better way to travel around the zoo than with your own personal chauffeur!  Vroom, vroom!

What better way to end a post than with this picture!  This was at the Bald Eagle exhibit at the zoo.  Totally amazing! 

We had so much fun and can't wait until our next adventures!  The best adventure of all will start July 9th!!!!  We can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take Me Out...

...to a BALL GAME!  Yes, you read that right. 

This is where I was on Sunday

Safeco Field

 (before the game from my seat)

During the game

Thanks to my brother-in-law, Monico I was able to go to my first baseball game ever!  Yes, EVER!  I had never even been to a junior high or high school baseball game, let alone a pro-baseball game.  Needless to say, although the Mariners lost (6-4), I got to meet Mrs. Edgar Martinez (Holli) and have one of these...

YUM!!!!!!!!!!! 

I even came away with a souvenir of my own...a sunburn!  Yes, even when it's raining outside, apparently you can still get red!

Thanks for the memories Melissa & Monico DeLeon!!

I LOVE MY MAN!

So I may be a little biased, but my man is THE BEST!  He completely surprised me today with these: 

Yes, lillies (my favorite flower!) and teddy bear!  I can't wait to become Mrs. Michael Bishop on July 9th!
