Update

Since I found my USB cord for my camera, I can finally share with you all the wonderful New Year's that we had in Seattle. 

Let's recap: The Christmas trip sucked, but this was the shining light during the week.  We had no plans, which was fabulous, except to eat at a Tom Douglas restaurant.  Reservations at Etta's were made, and a ferry we boarded.  We took a way-too-expensive cab, got there about 30 min early, and decided to walk around the city. 

Ahhhh....how gorgeous, right?  Look at the little raindrops! 

I had the most wonderful pork dinner, which is fully captured by this picture:

K got a steak dinner, which is horribly captured in this picture (which I am not responsible for in any way)

And did I mention we got free champagne? About 1/4 of a cup, but still!

Then we rode the ferry home, enjoying the night skyline.
