It's been almost a month!

I have a three day weekend this week because of Forth of July holiday. I didn't even realize until my co-worker told me. I am looking forward the firework display tomorrow. The city of Renton does not allow any fireworks, but we are hoping to see Seattle firework display. We should be able to see it from our apartment!



Well, it has been almost a month since Wil and I moved to Washington. It has been an adventure for both of us, but we  enjoy exploring and discovering this area. Our favorite is to go to conveyor belt sushi restaurant!! We have several near where we live. It is cheap, fast, and fresh!! It is perfect when we want some snack or light dinner. Also, we went to this neat tea shop called TeaCup in Queen Anne last week. We had a pot of earl gray tea and shared a ginger biscotti. I love the atmosphere of the shop. They had more than 50 different kinds of tea, so next time we go there, I want to try something different.

We also like to go to Bellvue Square Mall. It is a huge shopping mall in Bellvue, I mean HUGE! They have everything...including Crate & Barrel. I can buy everything in that shop! Wil likes to go to Lego shop, which we didn't have in AR. Lego shop is always busy and loud though...it is hard to think in that store sometimes.

What else we did today...oh, went to IKEA. That store is basically a warehouse, so it is very big. I though we will never get to the register. If we move in to a house and need more furniture, I will definitely go there.

I don't know what we gonna do for the rest of weekend...we want to look for a second vehicle and a dog, but we will see how that goes. Happy Forth of July!

今週末は独立記念日で３連休！同僚に言われるまで気づかなかったけど。明日の花火が楽しみ。レントン市は花火禁止だけど、シアトルの花火が見れると思う。アパートは高台なので、ここから見れるはず！

ワシントンに引っ越してきてもうすぐ１ヶ月経ちます。２人にとってアドベンチャーだったけど、でも、この地域を探索していろいろ発見するのを楽しんでます。最近、回転寿司を発見した！近くに何件かあって、安いし早いし新鮮！軽い夕飯が食べたいときにはぴったり。あと、ガリ食べ放題だし、緑茶も本物の緑茶。あと、先週シアトルのクイーンアンにあるティーショップに行きました。アールグレイのポットとジンジャービスコッティーをウィルとシェア。お店の雰囲気がすごく良かった。紅茶５０種類以上あったので、次行くときは違う種類を試してみます。

そして、ベルビューにあるショッピングモールもお気に入り。ここはものすごく大きいモール。ARとは比べ物になりません。大好きなCrate & Barrelもあって幸せ。この店の品は全部買いたいくらい。ウィルは、レゴショップがお気に入り。でも、ここはいつ行っても込んでて賑やか。

あと、今日はIKEA（英語でも発音はアイキア）に行きました。ここは倉庫のようなものなので広い！レジにたどり着くまでかなり時間かかりました。将来もっと家具が必要になったらここで家具調達します。

今週末あと２日何するか決めてないけど、２台目の車と犬を探したいと思ってます。Happy Forth of July!
