Photos From Our Trip

Here is a shot from Anne Amie Vineyards and I feel that their view rivals many in Napa. The wine is amazing as well, you have some outstanding Pinot Noirs, Viogniers and Pinot Gris to choose from. We picked up a bottle of the 2003 Deux Vert Vineyards Pinot Noir. We also visited Elk Cove Vineyards where we bought another Pinot and late harvest Riesling. Our final stop on the wine trail was Argyle who specializes in sparklings. We bought a Blanc de Blanc from them.

Here we are at Pike Street Market up in Seattle. This is the famous fish tossing stand which was jam packed the day we were there.
This is another Seattle landmark, the troll that lives under the Freemont Bridge. And yes, that was a real VW Bug the troll is crushing. I would hate to live on the street next to the troll since its always covered with tourists.

Can't decide on carpet installation?
A lot Of people think that The best way to save money on carpeting is to buy The absolute cheapest carpet available.In reality, this isn't a good idea at all for anyone who wants to save money.A bottom-Of-The-barrel carpet stains easily, it rips and tears easily and it requires a lot Of expensive repairs and replacing. Worst Of all, it's not even attractive or comfortable under your feet when it's like-New. There's no point buying The most expensive carpeting you can find, eiTher, Of course, but it's going to save you a lot more money in The long run to buy a good piece Of carpeting right up front in order to ensure that it doesn't need to be replaced again and again ever few months.
If you're not prepared to spend an extra dollar or two on quality carpeting just yet, then it may be a good idea to keep the laminate flooring bare for the time being until an opportunity presents itself to get the right carpeting at the right price, because it's only a bargain if what you're [URL=http://www.okay2shoes.net][b]discount gucci shoes[/b][/URL] getting is worth more than you paid for it.
Buy what you like
These days there [URL=http://www.okay2shoes.net/nikeairmaxnikeairmax97womens-c-3_58.html][b]Air Max 97 Women[/b][/URL] are a ton of design shows on television that go around berating everybody about their design choices.Rather than empower people to create great looking rooms and homes, these shows have some people scared stiff to actually make a move.Look:It's your floor, do what you like with it.Sure, some flooring options work a little better than others, but as long as you know what you're looking for, feel free to use white carpeting on your dining room floor if you like or hardwood in your bathroom.Whatever other people might say, as long as you're happy with the choice, then you're happy with the choice.
