...to Alderbrook Resort and Spa.

The title makes me sound so rich, let me just enjoy that for a little bit... ah ok I'm good now. I did actually get to stay the night there, but I was actually there working for the florist who buys peonies from us, Carin Diaz. We had to set up the flowers for a wedding. The resort is gorgeous! It is right on Hood Canal and has a ton of stuff for people to do. I don't think I have really told anyone about my second job.
It is a really fun job (at least for a girl) because I get to see all these different weddings and what people do. If I can, I steal a program to get ideas from. Of course the weddings are always on the weekends so it works out great with working at Leonard's Metal. For the most part people are really nice, but we have met a few overbearing moms and bridezillas. This wedding was outdoors and had flower buckets lining the aisle. There was an individual flower vase at each place setting and we made "dahlia trees" by sticking wire through the dahlia and tying it to curly willow branches. Carin also put flowers on the wedding cake. Isn't it beautiful!!
Usually I don't get to stay anywhere, but since Hood Canal is so far away we thought we might as well spend the night there. As soon as we were done moving stuff around from the wedding, we went and got dinner at the resort. Wow! it was yummy. All the stuff on the menu had fancy names and stuff I couldn't pronounce or I had no clue what it was. I got salmon with baked raviolli, there was rosemary bread and we had an appetizer of giant prawn something or other. Those melted in your mouth. And to top off the evening we all split a banana foster, which is leaning a little. After dinner, Nancy (another gal that came to help Carin) insisted that we walk off our food. So we went for a short walk down the boardwalk and back. We went back to our room and watched a movie before we fell asleep. It was a lot of fun. Breakfast was fun to, I had some berry waffle mountain thing. (Wow, I am getting really hungry!) On Monday we drove around and enjoyed the scenery before we headed back home. It is a BEAUTIFUL place!
