After a late night out, it was definitely difficult to get up the next morning. However, we forced ourselves awake because we had reservations to Lola, another one of Tom Douglas's restaurants and according to my friend, serves the best brunch. I can see why reservations are necessary because the large restaurant was already filled with people when we arrived. We got right down to business and got the made-to-order doughnuts with strawberry jam and vanilla mascarpone to share. They were bite-sized and little pillows of sugary dough. In pursuit of trying something I usually don't get or cook at home, I ordered the eggs benedict, which comes with the most glorious smashed garlic fried potatoes. I had a bite of my friend's summer squash & goat cheese omelette and golden brown pancakes as well and yes, it was a lot of food but way too delicious to stop eating.

We had plans to go to Bumbershoot, a music festival, but none of us were particularly fond of the artists and decided that we'd rather spend the ticket cost on sushi. With a free afternoon and good weather, we went to a park nearby to play bocce ball.

Afterwards, we went to Wasabi Bistro & Lounge for sushi and it was delicious. After a few days of fried foods and beer, I was craving fresh and clean foods. The roll menu was really long so it was a challenge to pick something but we all just ended up getting a bunch of rolls and the 20-piece chef choice sushi to share. No doubt my favorite was the uni nigiri.
