LED flashlight only $4.99 on Woot
Woot is having a deal on LED flashlights.What can I say? I’m a sucker for flashlights. I ordered three since shipping is $5 anyway and two of these will go in to my gift closet. The hardest part about blogging about deals is trying not to order things for myself..

Sounds like a fun date night to me.
Urban beer hike – what’s not to love??
Here is a link to a story I loved featuring local businesses. Sounds like a great hike to me. I LOVE all these places. It’s only 3.5 mile hike and you eat and drink on the way!
I love how they map out these stops as the “Triangle of Deliciousness”. It’s so fun to have some great places to go so close to home. Below is a list of my humble experiences at these stops.
Big Al’s – they don’t serve food, but you can bring food in. I’ve brought in pizza from Proletariat and BBQ from Uncle Mikes. They even have paper plates, napkins and utensils on hand. Their beer is fantastic and you can try out samples.
Proletariat – I have never had a pizza here that I didn’t love. This place gets packed, so get there early if you want a table
The Company – last time I was there they had Rainier on tap! How cool is that? Takes me right back to high school (hope my Mom doesn’t read this). I also had the steak kabobs and they were delicious. Can’t wait to go back.
Full Tilt – they make their own hot fudge sauce and it is divine. I am kind of a vanilla ice cream kinda girl so he made me a sundae with hot fudge and whip cream and it was fantastic. They also have pinball, skee ball and video games.
Salvadorean Bakery – I love their breakfasts. Huevos Rancheros with beans and thick corn tortillas are fantastic. They also will make you a latte you can enjoy with any number of freshly baked goods.
Super Deli Mart – Their british hoagie is so good it’s a destination stop for me. I’ve taken friends there just to sit and eat a sub and enjoy a cold beer. The owner is so generous and fills me in on all the latest brews available and lets you sample whatever is on tap..
