As you all know, Auntie Jenny celebrates her birthday on the most important holiday on the Norwegian calendar. To celebrate with her, me and my mama came out to Seattle and doned our itchy (but lovely) bunads, gobbled down some salmon and salad at the best restaurant in Seattle, toasted the surprise of another Breen baby in the works, and marched in a huge parade in Ballard with our bunad-clad friends, the Strandoos. It was about ten hours past my bedtime, but I didn't care at all because it was the most exciting combination of sites and sounds I ever did see. Wow, those Norwegians sure know how to throw a parade!
