Happy Day After Valentine's Day

As I mentioned in my previous post, Corey and I each planned a date to celebrate Valentine's Day. Today was his big day. We kicked it off with a surprise trip to Discovery Park in Magnolia. I had never been but kept hearing how great it was and have been really wanting to go with Roxy. We packed Roxy up and made our way over to the park, along with homemade Spanakopita that Corey made as a surprise snack - it was delicious!

After our snack, we let Roxy run around and play in the huge grassy area before venturing down some of the paths / roads the park has to offer.

We probably walked 1-1.5 miles while we were there and Roxy was really losing steam by the end. After drinking lots of water when we got home, she curled up on the couch for and slept the rest of the afternoon.

Tonight, Corey took me to Palisade for dinner, which is also in Magnolia. I had never been but had heard from many people that it was amazing so I was thrilled to be able to go! It's beautiful - right on the water, overlooking Seattle, West Seattle and a marina. Inside, they have a stream and pond, which was really cool. And the food is amazing. Corey went with steak and prawns and I went for the butterfish, which was delish. And to top it all off, we shared a creme brulee sampler which was amazing. I love trying new places, especially when the food is so yummy.

This was a great day to top off our Valentine's Day weekend celebration. Thanks for the amazing day, Corey! Love you!

And in case you're interested, here are some photos from today. The rest can be found here.

Yummy, homemade Spanakopita.

Roxy was on a mission - she pulled us just about everywhere we went.

Whew! It's rough pulling Corey and I around.

We tried to get a photo of ourselves in front of the Palisade sign but didn't have the best luck...

...hence the photo of just me in front of the sign.
