Summer Resolution Update

Holy SMOKES. It's already August! This summer has been flying by, mostly, I think, because most days it hasn't really felt like summer. But I've still been able to make a few of these resolutions happen. Here's what I've done so far.

• Go to a Mariners game Had a great time at the game on Father's Day!
• Bike on the Burke Gilman Trail
• Swim in a lake
• Rent Kayaks at Aqua Verde  --> While we did EAT at Aqua Verde, kayaking sadly did not happen because the line was around the block. We tried though, and we've done plenty of kayaking otherwise.
• Eat at Emmer and Rye Mission Accomplished. Though my photos from brunch were among those that mysteriously disappeared.
• Eat at Paragon Yes, where I consumed this burger that was far larger than my head and drank one martini strong enough to remove paint. You really get your money's worth at that happy hour.

 

• Eat at Sitka and Spruce
• Visit Melrose Market
• Go camping
• Go hiking
• Go to a lake place in Eastern Washington
• Go to the San Juans
• Go out in the boat for 4th of July Yes!
• Make s'mores Yummy!
• Grill stone fruit
• Make a new type of fruity cocktail
• Take a free Zumba at the Seattle Center
• Take a hot yoga class
• Run three times a week Okay, technically I haven't been running, but I have been walking almost 3 miles every day
• Write a travel story I'm proud to say, this project is IN PROGRESS!
• Buy and make some artwork for the apartment --->This hasn't happened exactly, but we did get new pillows and furniture, stay tuned for a post soon.
• Eat an ice cream cone while sitting outside
• Eat alfresco once a week Doing a pretty good job at this, given the amazing outdoor space at my office.
• Take my lunch to work three days a week and eat breakfast at home  Amazingly enough, I'm actually achieving this!
• Read six books ---> Well on my way. I've been putting heavy use on my new library card AND I just discovered Sookie Stackhouse.
• Continue to post here 2-3 times a week ---> Doing my best! 

Something else I'd like to try? Stand Up Paddle Boarding. Have done this? What's it like?
How are you doing on your summer resolutions?
