Making the post a bit late, but I turned 21 in January! I spent the night celebrating with some friends around Seattle and Tacoma. First, dinner in Seattle at Pacific Cafe – Hong Kong Kitchen (my favorite hole-in-the-wall noodle place)!

(google search for my order from the cafe because it was so delicious I forgot to take a picture)

After dinner, we went to the Asian market down the street. My buddy Michael Mulay’16 found a Laotian beer he’d been looking for, while conveniently wearing his matching shirt.

On the eve of my 21st, we headed to Marrow, a classy little bar close to campus where they serve a drink with actual bone marrow in it! I stuck with a White Russian for my first legal drink, however.

Look Ma, I’m an adult!

Also conveniently matching, I bought my first beer! From a California brewery, good ol’ Sierra Nevada. 

Since birthdays in college never last only one day, I also got to go wine tasting at the local 21 Cellars just a few blocks off campus with my boyfriend Kyle Dybdal’15 and our friend and TCM intern, Eli Nicholes.

The charming little cellar

Eli and Kyle!

Cheers! 😉

All in all, it was a lovely and classy birthday weekend. Couldn’t have asked for more a more wonderful place to celebrate my 21st, or more wonderful people.
