Ben and Jerry’s partnered with Seattle’s Theo Chocolates for a pop up event which included a special ice cream flavor just for the occasion. “Sweetness in Seattle” flavor won’t be sold in stores, but we were able to snag a scoop at the event (to promote bill 522 which would make it mandatory that all food in Washington be labeled if the item contains any genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Barely a week into Seattle life and we have our first celebrity sighting! We met Jerry (of Ben & Jerry’s)!
In the morning I took the Kim’s mountain bike out to the I-5 Colonnade MTB Skills Park. This amazing park is built into the hillside underneath the interstate. There are expert level jumps, drops and wall rides. There is a switchback filled single track with bridges, logs and boulders. And then the kiddie skills area to learn balance and bike skills. The best part is that park is only a 5 minute ride away.
So I am way out of practice and even further out of shape for this place. I totally wrecked on the kiddie area, falling over on that boardwalk above. I defiantly want to go get some pictures of the guys that know what they are doing.
