One reason I was so excited to come home this summer is because my beautiful friend Corene was getting MARRIED! She met a wonderful guy, and I couldn't be any happier for her. But, before she got married, we had to take her out for one last night of debauchery. The night was filled with male strippers, lots of cocaine, and menage a trois's a plenty! Corene was ready to get CRAZY!

Well, if you knew Corene (or any of us, for that matter) you'd know that Corene wouldn't be caught dead doing any of those things. So, we did what we do best - hang out! Caroline, Brandi, Tien and myself had plans to take Corene out in downtown Seattle to happy hour, walk around Seattle, and a fun, dueling piano bar.

We started by meeting out at Corene's house in Snoqualmie.


I made Corene her favorite - white chocolate chip cookies. After hanging out for a bit, we hit the road.


Brandi borrowed a minivan from her brother so we could all cruise together in style.

Our first stop was to Peso's for some happy hour. Brandi loves this place, so she knew all the right things to order - they had the best chicken quesadillas I've ever had! Next stop was downtown Seattle for the Seattle International Beerfest. It was a beautiful Seattle day and we didn't want to spend it inside. We ended up seeing a few RHSers we knew, but the funniest part was that we ran into Corene's fiance Dave and his bachelor party group! Totally unplanned - neither Corene nor Dave knew where their friends were taking them!


They couldn't keep their hands off of each other, but how could you not? They're so cute!


It kind of looks like the Space Needle is growing out of my head.


We are ridiculously good looking.


The whole group - Corene's bachelorette party, and Dave's bachelor party.


Typical Caroline and Cheryl picture.


I lurve this picture - the guy behind us kept offering to take us on a bike ride wherever we wanted to go - the only name I can think for it is rickshaw, but I'm positive that they do not call it that.


After beerfest we started walking to our next destination, and had to take the opportunity for some photo ops in front of the fountain. Corene is hot.








Wow. That's a lot of Cheryl's arm for one photo, and what on Earth is happening with my toe?

We decided to head over to Chopstix for the rest of the night - Chopstix is a dueling piano bar, and we were one of about 5-6 bachelorette parties

Favorite picture of the night.


The pianists (hehe) had all the available men in the crowd come to serenade Corene.






There was an awesome light park just across the street from Chopstix, and Tien's friend took some pictures of us.


We love you Corene!
