Earlier this month Talena and went to Seattle. Why? Why not? Neither of us had been there and Talena had a cousin who has been begging her to come visit.
It was a great weekend. Seattle even put on a show for us. We had only one day of rain and only in the morning, just long enough for me to have an excuse to buy a jacket at the REI flagship store (I may or may not call it the Mother ship).
I am pretty sure I am in love with Seattle and must find me a job working for REI so I can move up there.
Here are a few highlights from the trip
- The jumping and clapping from Robbie when he picked us up from the airport. Everyone should be greeted this way.
- Beautiful views from the Space Needle of Mt Rainier. And being treated like a VIP as we got to pass everyone and go to the front of the line...totally worth the extra $.
- Being offered rubber overalls by the Pike's Place fisherman.
- BIG REI heaven. Need I say more.
- Interesting Seattle history and underground tour.
- Preforming with "cousin red" (our band name) at the EMP.
- Lots of desserts: Cow Chip Cookies, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Specialty Cafe Bakery and lots more
- The troll (cause it isn't a Seattle trip without it)
- The weekend (oh did I mention it was the 4th of July weekend) wasn't complete without watching fireworks over the water with Mt Rainier in the background.
- Learning to play Tripoley with 3 fanatics.
