Dim Sum & House

Sunday, May 1, 2011

After mass at the Catholic Church in Fairhaven, we drove down to Seattle to the House of Hong for dim sum for brunch. The first time we ate here was after our plane landed around 2pm so the food wasn’t very warm nor were there many people to bring the carts around to. This time was completely different. The free parking lot across from the restaurant was packed. They even have a parking attendant helping you find a parking spot to get you in to your table. We ate steamed shrimp dumplings, pot stickers, fried noodles, barbeque pork buns and turnip cake. It was wonderful and a better price than the last time we ate dim sum in San Francisco.

We met the owner of our rental house at 1pm. He works for Microsoft. They are an Indian couple that live in Redmond. We are still finalizing the contract, but all background and credit checks went well. Here’s a sneak peak of the exterior of the house. I’ll do a more in depth post when we can get in again and take more pictures of the interior. It’s a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1750sf single family house built in 2000 on a cul-de-sac in Mill Creek, WA. It has a 2 story hardwood floor entry. The kitchen is spacious with tile counters , desk and pantry. There is a gas fireplace in the living room which opens up to the formal dining room and a slider to the deck. Now we are counting down the days to Monday May 23^rd when the moving truck should arrive. We’re so ready to have all of our stuff.
