We had some great weather this weekend...Sunny, kind of brisk in the AM, warm in the afternoon, etc. Most of all...no rain! We had the chance to wash the cars and get them cleaned out. It has been the first opportunity since our wild Nov/Dec weather to do this.
Saturday night, Nana J came over to watch the kids as we went out with friends for dinner. We thought we would venture back to our old stomping grounds in Renton and visit our favorite Italian restaurant, Armondos. We had made that a regular spot during our 5 years in Renton. So, we made the 15 min drive out there. About 5 min away, we turned to Cary and Julia and said, "Jeez, we hope this place is still here." The closer we got the more we started getting concerned. When we reached the destination we were shocked to see that our old favorite was vacant...with a sign saying, "Coming soon...Stiffys Bar and Grill." Yes, Stiffys had taken the place of the best Chicken Parmsean in town!! Dealing with both the shock of "we drove all the way out here for nothing" and the pain from laughing at a place that would be named "Stiffys" we drove around the block. As we came around the corner, Steph looked down another street and there was the NEW location for Armondos. They had moved!! This was our first trip out to Renton in over a year, and the hostess confirmed they moved in November of 2005. We enjoyed a great dinner with great friends...just like we remembered it.

Thanks for the fun night. We'll have to avoid the new joint! :)
Isn't the new location GREAT??!!! If I had known you were heading there I would've told you they'd moved. They have the cutest little bar area, etc.
Glad you had a fun weekend -- still on the mend and will let you know when I reschedule Safeco.
Thanks for understanding!!
