Monkey Bridge

Happy Friday everyone! I hope that you all had a good week, and that you are ready for a little R&R this weekend. The school week has been crazy busy for me because Stuart and I are heading our of town for the weekend and spending Saturday night at the Lake Quinault Lodge in the Olympic Peninsula. It's a belated trip for his birthday, which was last week, and also a pacific northwest destination we've had on our bucket list. We are expecting some rain, but we can't wait to go on some misty hikes, eat at this funky but (supposedly yummy) Salmon House restaurant, and enjoy the historic hotel property where President Roosevelt once stayed.

Tonight, we are probably going to grab some dinner at a casual but delicious Vietnamese restaurant called Monkey Bridge. It's only a 5 minute drive from where we live, and I have to admit that it's probably one of my top 5 favorite places to eat in Seattle. Not that it's extraordinary in any way, just consistently really good food at a really good price, with a nice ambiance to boot. So it's a least in our top 5 most-visited list! Just look at this bowl of Asian goodness below.
