101 - #2 - Go to the Museum of History and Industry

This weekend I finally checked out MOHAI with my friend Sarah.  It was a really fine little museum with much of interest.  I learned a lot about local history I did not know.  Such as the fact Mr. Yesler had a native bride he discarded when his white wife finally joined him...which apparently was not uncommon.  And that Seattlites have always been wacky outdoors types and have been pushing for more bike lanes for well over 100 years!  Some of my favorite things were the lovely diorama near the entrance, the Toe Truck, the neat figurehead collection, and the spool of gold-rush era newspapers you can spin through (and knock your head loudly on if you are me).  Over all I highly recommend checking it out!

101 - #63 - # Get bathroom repaired (leak and new flooring)

Egads.  The repairs were done ages ago (January?) - but the bathroom is not finished.  Need to paint the trim, and touch up paint where the walls meet trim, and also put in a new fan unit.  But still the repairs are done...one less thing to worry about!  Here is what the floor looks like:

101 - #16 - Have tea at the Queen Mary Tea Room

My pal Sarah also volunteered for high tea at the Queen Mary Tea Room.  This was a fun time out over all, though not perfect.  Company, food and tea were marvelous.  Atmosphere decidedly mixed...way too estrogen soaked for me.  Flowers, teapots, stuffed animals and brick-a-brac EVERYWHERE.  Good place to take mom for girl-time.  If you something a little less red-hat, try The Sorrento.
