On Wednesday Swathi had to work and Balu had things to do at home, but the rest of us drove down to Seattle and walked to Pike’s Place market. We went to my favorite store there, Piroshky Piroshky, and my mom treated us all to TWENTY-ONE piroshkies. The sad thing is that we ate probably half of them on the spot.
Then we walked through the rest of Pike’s Place market and took two elevators down to the Seattle Aquarium.
Then we drove home and got home right in time for my friend, Julie, and her four kids to join us for a dinner cooked by one of Clark and Swathi’s chefs. It was so delicious and so fun to see Julie! It was also crazy having ten kids run around the house, but Swathi was such a sweet host and even enjoys the chaos that naturally happens when that many kids get together. I was grateful for a chance to see my friend and get to know her kids a bit better.
After the excitement, we put everyone to bed, cleaned up, and nostalgically watched Home Alone together.
