More photos from Adrianne & Ricky's visit

We've been having a really great time with Ricky and Adrianne.

I took them for a stroll around Downtown Bellevue Saturday late afternoon. We went down to Downtown Bellevue Park, then further down to the Meydenbauer Beach Park. It was really a gorgeous, clear day, and was probably around 80 degrees.

Sunday morning, we walked over to Din Tai Fung and got there at 10:00am, just as they opened! There was a pretty long line when we arrived, but they managed to seat everyone once they opened the doors. Dick and I hadn't been there for weekend brunch before, so we ordered the soup and small dumplings which are only available on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Really yummy! We introduced A and Ricky to all our favorites: The juicy pork dumplings, broccoli, spicy noodles, etc., It was delish!

Sunday afternoon, we hopped on the 550 bus from Bellevue and took it downtown. Our first stop was the Starbucks Roastery and Tasting Room. Ricky and Adrianne shared a Siphon Flight of coffee (three different kinds of coffee) and really loved it! They were hopped up on caffeine for the rest of the afternoon!

We walked from Starbucks Roastery to the Molly Moon's ice cream in Capital Hill. This was our lunch, since we were still pretty full from brunch. :) So yummy.

Now that we were hopped up on caffeine and sugar, we walked down to Pike Place Market. It was pretty crowded, which is to be expected for a Summer weekend, but still fun to stroll through.

Ricky and Adrianne are both big board game gamers. They like to seek out game stores when they travel, and found a couple of good ones in Ballard and here in Bellevue. As a thank you gift for staying with us, but bought us a few games that they thought we'd enjoy.

We spent about four hours playing mostly one of these games on Saturday night! Yep, we're addicted and loved it. It's very simple, but sper fun! The game is called "One Night Ultimate Werewolf". We played again Sunday night - very fun!!

Adrianne was drinking a martini, and appropriately drew "The Drunk" card
