a Weekend in Seattle – the highlights, a la bullet points

  • Trip begin.
  • Had a horribly turbulent flight out that was scary as hell.
  • Found a really cool candy store in PHL that made it slightly better.
  • Enjoyed breakfast at a really awesome bagel place.
  • Stopped by that really famous fish place at the Seattle market.
  • Realized that Seattle is really artsy.
  • Bought candy. Well, more candy.
  • Saw several bums throughout Downtown Seattle.
  • Took an underground tour of Downtown Seattle (less bums underground).
  • Found some of the best “cheap Chinese food” I’ve ever tasted (and cried because it’s a local chain).
  • Saw more bums back at my friends’ apartment!
  • Tried tapioca, and surprisingly wasn’t grossed out!
  • Saw a really cool waterfall, somewhere in the fog.
  • Tried pho, and even more surprisingly actually kinda liked it!
  • Took an obligatory picture with some weird troll thing.
  • Spent an hour bumming around the Pacific Science Center.
  • Basically got shooed out of the Pacific Science Center when they were trying to close.
  • Enjoyed the view at the top of the Seattle Space Needle.
  • …and got a really cool LEGO set to commemorate the journey!
  • Watched both Twilight movies and didn’t turn gay … yet.
  • Almost died while trying to hike a “gradual incline” through the mountains.
  • Saw some pretty views, though.
  • Killed an hour gawking at funny products in Whole Foods.
  • Had to go home way too early.
  • Pretty much swore off US Airways after excessive gouging and generally shitty customer service.
  • Ate a McGriddle at the airport coming home. (Hey, I’ve been on a diet – it was good!)
  • Forgot where we parked the car at the airport and spent 25 minutes wandering around in the heat.
  • Trip end.
