There isn't alot to do near Inverenss other than check out the gorgeous coast and beaches. Not that you shouldn't at least spend a day doing this if you have never been out here before. And Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes nearby makes some of the best cheese you will ever taste. Manka's is a cute, out-of-the-way getaway hotel/lodge. The staff are incredibly nice and friendly, and the lodging is vintage and well done. But I didn't realize it wasn't a regular hotel; it's more like a bed and breakfast that's really well done. There is no cell phone reception on the property, and there are no TVs or phones in the room. That was a shock - albeit preferable to many who go there with full knowledge that it's going to be like really really nice camping. The real fireplace, the lodge and surroundings were great. And they have one of those amazing stand-up english shower heads (you know, the ones that are mounted on the ceiling of the shower, look like a giant sunflower and the water flows like a river straight down on you).

Full disclosure here: I am one of the owners of Madrona Moose, a new children's store in the Madrona neighborhood in Seattle. I just wanted to point out a review of the Moose store that just came out yesterday in a new edition of Kaie Wellman 's book, "eat.shop.seattle - second edition."
From the book....
"my daughter lola and her best friend alice love clothes and they often like to exchange from their closets. it's a good deal for both because lola prefers romantic, girly clothes and alice likes her threads to be modern and cool. both girls could shop happily at moose. carrie carries the perfect blend of darling classics from europe and funkier, contempo styles from the states. and then to round it all out, she's got one of the best collections of toys and books in seattle....."
The book, "eat.shop.seattle - second edition" (written by kaie wellman www.eatshopguides.com) is now available at certain stores in the Seattle area, including Madrona Moose (and will soon be more widely available). The book is a (self-described) "guide to the most interesting shopping, eating and drinking in seattle washington usa."

Lanponi is pretty darn good. I'm pretty sure it's the former owner (chef?) from Tommy Thai in Kirkland's Rose Hill area (which I used to always go to), so I was glad to see these guys open up on the plateau. The Mongolian Chicken and Mongolian Beef are some of my favorites.

For auto body repairs, Queen City Auto Rebuild in Redmond is the best in my opinion. They are the top recommendation from the guys who run Barrier Motors. So if you want your car to look like new - take it to Queen City. I have always had a good experience with them.

These guys only do personal training - and they kick your ass. It costs around $70 per 1 hour session. I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks, but when I go it's a great (brutal?) workout,...
These guys only do personal training - and they kick your ass. It costs around $70 per 1 hour session. I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks, but when I go it's a great (brutal?) workout, and the trainers there are very nice but tough. I highly recommend it.
