If you ever ask the Wall family to go out for dinner I can guarantee that you'll end up at Tapitio. The Wall's go there so much that all Tina has to do is text George (a server) to save her a table and he automatically knows to bring her a jumbo skinny margarita with salt. So if you can't get a table, just text Tina!
Since the Gevers are all part Indonesian they LOVE their Thai food. Fun fact, Nicole never before tired Thai food before meeting Trey and now were are all obsessed together. A few recommendations would be the chicken pad thai, beef pad se ew, chicken pineapple fried rice (TRUST US), and chicken panang curry.
Hands down one of the best breakfast places you can go to in Seattle. Before COVID happened they offered a fruit and whipped cream bar where you can pile as much as you liked on to your pancakes or waffles.
Looking for a nicer place to eat. 520 bar and grill has great happy hour options! Typically there is a wait during the weekends but old main is a great place to walk around and explore.
If you're looking to walk around a cute lively town along the water side. I would definitely recommend going to down town Kirkland. There are so many boutiques to shop around, coffee shops, lunch places, gelato, and even a macaroon store. Our favorite thing to do in Kirkland is to park away from downtown and walk along the beach side until we reach the shops.
If you're looking for a little outdoor adventure floating down the river and be so fun yet so relaxing. It takes roughly around 2 hours to float so plan accordingly. They charge $25 per tube on the weekends and they can get pretty busy so be there earlier than later. Make sure to pack drinks and sunscreen!
Love to thrift? This is the cutest thrift store on Mercer Island! After you're done take a drive around the island and if you get hungry HomeGrown is the BEST for lunch!
If you're looking for a fun lake day we would recommend Meydenbauer. It is newly built and they offer REI rentals for a fee such as kayaks and stand up paddle boards. However, if you would rather lay out in the sun we would recommend the Clyde beach park down the road or the beach in Downtown Kirkland.
