Vacation!

Okay so we're taking a break from the house for a bit. So on Wednesday we headed to rainy and cooler Seattle and Portland. After 13 hours in transit, five of which were unplanned due to tornados in Denver, yes our plane had to be rerouted to Colorado Springs making us the first plane to be a part of Southwest's newest destination haha, we finally made it to Seattle where we grabbed a cab with Shawn and Katy and finally made it to the hotel at 3 our time. Next day it was off to explore Seattle! Some random things we've done so far:

- eaten apples from pike place market
- ridden the ferry to Winslow where we turned right instead of left on the main drag and ended up walking down a nearly deserted road except for the one random kid walking ten feet in front of us, yes we felt like stalkers
- had yummy coffee and gingersnaps at Isaiah's recommended coffee shop Victrola . . . twice in two days, and yes their americano is good
- had sushi and martinis (okay i had martini spencer had wine) at hotel max at the after ten happy hour, you'd think we'd eat earlier because of the time change but really we've just been eating at all random hours of the day, like nine or three or eight or ten or two or really whenever we decide we are hungry enough to fork over some more dough
-squeezed eight people into an expedition
-stopped at a random winery . . . before lunch
-bought a sweatshirt from AE because it is still COLD here
-played a walked in a grocery store and bought something with the letter blank . . . and yes that was while we were all in the expedition
- tried to get on the ferry a second time, but decided 63 dollars was way too much to pay for eight people and a driver, shoot should have said we were all under 18, the windows were tinted she would have never known

So tomorrow we're off to the PCA church that is conveniently located three blocks from our hotel and then off to some wineries and who knows what all else we'll find to do. Hopefully it'll be sunny!!! And by the way when the sun is out in portland you can see mountains! With snow on top! I know ridiculous, I feel like I'm seeing a whole different city from the one I saw last time I was here. I'm not holding my breath though, I think it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. I'll take the sun while I can though :).
