Last week Ryan had to take a little 'work trip' out to Winthrop, WA; just over the cascade mountains. He has a house that is about to start construction out there, so we (he) had to take some plans to the city to get the project permitted, and meet with some potential contractors to see some of their work and get them started on the bidding process for the project. Ben and I went along just to hang out ;)
This is the project house that Ryan designed. The site is on the side of a mountain, which is awesome!

This area has really started to become a big attraction for mountain getaways for wealthy Seattleites. It's already starting to become a draw for modern architects, so getting a house built out there will hopefully just be the first of many for Ryan. While we were there, we visited a few other modern houses. This is one by Tom Kundig that was just finishing up.
We got home on the weekend, just in time to celebrate Easter with some friends! We had a little cookout, adult easter egg hunt, and played some yard games at our friends' house on Mercer Island. It was soooo nice out, that I even got a tan!!
