Melissa!

I just wanted to say Happy birthday to one of my dearest and oldest friends Melissa.
We have known each other since kindergarten and through thick and thin I have always known if I needed her she would be there. So I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Our 18th birthday

Seattle weekend 2 and Halloween

So I am finally getting my butt in gear and am going to get this post done!
Anyways I went back to Seattle the next weekend for Halloween. While driving through snoqualmie I hit snow and rain and it was just not a fun drive.
That night I went to this little Italian place Tropea and it was amazing they had such good food! I thought I was going to burst when I left. The next day I went over to Zipper and got to go in and see all the little kids of the people who work there. They give the kids candy and the kids walk around to the different places so the employees can say trick or treat and the kids give them candy.
Unfortunately these pictures won't be all that great because I lost the charger to the camera so I had to take all of these from the phone.
The Next morning moved hotels and moved into the Marriott right across the street from the ocean! This is the view from the balcony of the room.
This is the HUGE COMFY bed that I love because no place is better than bed :P

Went across the street to Anthony's
This was the view from the table.
The amazing food.
Then went over to the Aquarium that was right down the pier from the hotel.
They had pumpkins in the exhibits so I got a picture of one with a starfish on it.
The fish were really cool. Went at feeding time so I got to watch them feed the petting pool and the otters. I got a video but its hard to see much because of the sun :(
Then we went to Pikes market that was right behind the hotel.
Finally went back to our room for a bit to rest. We went to Sushi for dinner with our friend Justin came into town and Bill who lives in Seattle.
Then we got ready for the party! It was lots of fun here is a robot at the party dancing.


The next day as I was checking out to drive home I got a picture of the glass art in the lobby because it was really cool.
And that was Seattle weekend 2.
There are more pictures if you'd like here

Seattle Weekend 1

I went over to Seattle for the weekend. I started out after I got off work that Friday. Seattle is about 5 hours away from Moscow driving and there is 2 ways you can go one takes you on a detour way out of the way and the other is the straight shot well the one that takes you on the detour is interstate the whole way and the straight shot is a dinky 2 lane highway in the middle of nowhere. I took the dinky route and a few hours out in the middle of nowhere it was dark and raining I blew out a tire. Below is how bad it was. Lucky some really nice people pulled over and helped me change it.

I got there decently late that night so went straight to bed. The next morning found out the Redmond farmers market was held right outside where I were staying so I wandered around and got some amazing cheese.
I also discovered Cabbage flowers. I had never seen these before but apparently they are pretty common in Seattle because there were everywhere.
Also discovered red sunflowers which were also everywhere and very pretty.

A lady there was selling Alpaca wool and she brought the Alpaca's with her.After the market I met Liz, Vic and Stuart for breakfast at the Belview club.
As you probably have noticed I like food so there will be a lot of food mentioning.
For lunch went to a Korean restaurant. They bring you a bunch of small bowls for appetizers.
One of the bowls had sardines in it which I am not really a fan of anything that stares at me while I am eating so I didn't try that out.
I got soft tofu soup which was really good it came boiling.Later that night when I went to dinner I went to a really good Indian restaurant named Mehfil if your ever in the Redmond town center go eat there its so good.
Outside I walked into a bunch of Zombies doing the Thriller! If you go to this link you can see what I walked into and about half way through if you watch the back behind all the zombies you see me walk up and stand back a bit we are in the white and black :P
But the weekend had to come to an end so I drove back home. Here is a picture of the Columbia.
