As of 8/22/10 I’ve checked in 267 times. I’ve travelled in five states (WA, TX, CA, MT, ID) and two provinces (NB & AB). Today’s new place (which I have been to before, but it’s my first checkin) was ever wonderful Anthony’s at Point Defiance Park for our wedding anniversary dinner with dear daughter.
Update: And here is a new photo of Anthony’s
Today, 8/23/10, My husband needed a tire put on his boat, ummmm I mean car. He replaced three of the tires himself, but the 4th one was really 
stuck! Since I didn’t work today, I said I’d take it. So off I went to Courtesy Auto Service and Tire of Tacoma near the Tacoma Mall. I always just thought it was called Goodyear, but I guess not. The customer service was polite and the work was done quickly. They charged $15, which seemed alright to me, but my husband thought it should have been less.
A favorite restaurant for my daughter and I has been Panera’s Bread http://www.panerabread.com/. We go there when we want something special, but not too expensive. I flutter all over the menu, but my daughter almo
st always gets the broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl. Then, more often than not, we wander over to Barnes & Noble to check out the new books. So, Panera’s Bread in Lakewood was our new place for 8/24/2010.
While we were out and about, we stopped at Safeway (not for the first time) and I took this picture. The combination of Shape magazine and Ding Dongs was amusing!

On 8/25 we meant with a financial adviser (great guy!) at Forza and then afterwards walked over to Joeseppis Italian Ristoranti. We shared the Marsala Chicken and still took 1/2 of it home as leftovers!
Thursday I had a special treat because my friend had a get together at her beach cabin. We went down a very steep trail to get there. It was just just perfect, good weather, good friends, good food and a wonderful view! The the pictures for 8/26 show the beach! FourSquare let me check in here under “the Beach Cabin”. I can only assume that I was at the same beach cabin that they were thinking of! I’m sure that’s right. 😀
On 8/27 we went out to a movie (it was awful) and afterwards we needed a bite to eat. But it was way too much effort to go to a restaurant and I still needed my new checkin for the day. So off we went to the recently remodeled Stadium Thriftway. It’s one of my favorite local grocery stores with a great selection of produce and a great deli/premade section.

I hadn’t seen the Good Year Blimp in years, but there it was flying over University Place during the U.S. Open. This photo was taken on June 18th and it is the very best that my camera could do on full zoom.
