Our weekends filled with active adventures are slowing down. I hit the 36 week pregnancy mark and my body is telling me it needs more sleep, rest and overall needs to slow down. I did more resting & nesting this weekend than I normally do. Since we won’t be living in Capitol Hill that much longer, we want to make sure we take advantage of all the neighborhood restaurants & bars we can while we are still Cap Hill residents.
Friday night, we walked up to the Rachel’s Ginger Beer for cocktails and mocktails after our dinner at home. I had the hibiscus ginger beer and Ryan had the moscow mule. My non-alcholic beverage made me feel like I was sipping on a real cocktail.
Saturday, Ryan went into work. I spent the day cleaning up around the house and resting. I was so tired and needed a day of nesting. I attempted to study some for my NASM testing but I feel asleep watching an anatomy video. I realized that wasn’t going to happen. Saturday night, we ventured out to meet up with some friends for a bit. We started off at the Lookout. Lookout is a neighborhood bar with a back patio that has views overlooking Lake Union. The sunset was a little erie from all the haze and smoke in the air from the wildfires in Central Washington. After the sun went down, we left Lookout and stopped by Summit Public House. I wish we would have discovered this little street sooner. It has become our new favorite go-to area. It’s a small stretch of dive bars, restaurants and the original Top Pot Donuts location. I love the quaint neighborhood feel away from the hustle and bustle of most of Cap Hill.
Sunday was another day of resting and eating. Our Sunday funday included the above food from Roy Street Coffee. Cheese plate & beer for Ryan and a decaf frappacino & sweets for me. Roy Street Coffee is new concept coffeehouse owned by Starbucks. It’s a coffee house Starbucks says “that reflects the local neighborhood’s values and personality and celebrates the Pacific Northwest’s coffee heritage, materials and artists.” I like that you can get coffee, food, beer or sweets all in a low-key coffeehouse setting.
