Seattle Cheese Festival

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS!? I was just pondering the other day about doing a blog as an ode to cheese, thinking about how there should be an international day for cheese. Cheese is really one of the greatest foods ever. But hey! At least we have a festival! Unfortunately my weekend is pretty booked up so I may not make it, but now that I know something like this exists, I can plan ahead to next year! If you want to know the detes, here is the official website.

South Lake Union Block Party

Yesterday after work, my parents and I headed down to the South Lake Union Block Party to see what it was all about. We live so close, but have not gone in past years so we decided to check it out. It ended up being pretty fun. They had a bunch of SLU vendors down there making food that they handed out for free, however most people responded to the $1 suggested donation. But still only $1 for these food samples was great. During the festival they had a few different bands playing live on stage. They also had a wine tasting area and a Redhook beer garden. Lots of people brought their dogs for the Muttmazing Race. At the end of the night they showed "Juno" on a large screen. It was a fun little festival to explore.
