Chocolate Chicks – February 2013

Our multi-national group traveled to the funky Fremont neighborhood to have some month-appropriate samples of the good stuff made at Theo Chocolate.  We enjoyed nibs, 45% milk, 75% dark, and tossed a few caramels back for good measure.  The tour was very informative with a most fun guide and he too enjoyed our diversity!  Although Brazil was the only country where some cocoa beans came from for Theo and APIA also represented, the ladies all represented their countries with great class and personality.  I was happy to be amongst sweets with all the APIA smiling sweets.

Au Pairs Discuss the Hot Spots for Toddlers when it Rains – January 2013

A group of au pairs currently residing in and around Seattle/Bellevue talk about where they like to bring the children under their care.  In addition to the various libraries, malls and restaurants with indoor play areas, popular hot spots included, the Seattle Aquarium, Kidz Bounce in Issaquah, SkyMania Trampolines in Kirkland, the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, the Seattle Gymnastic Academy in various locations and even the Woodland Park Zoo (although admittedly challenging to find many animals willing to brave the rain!).  After our conversations, several headed out to the Underground Tour – a fine and fun escape from the rain!
