I have tickets to the Bon Jovi concert! I am super excited. Now I just have to wait until February.

Katie and I got up early, made sure that she had everything packed and headed out the door. We decided to stop at IHOP for breakfast (I sure do love their pancakes) and then it was on to the airport so Katie could catch her flight. I am super glad that she decided to visit. It was great to have a friend from Wisconsin over and I loved showing her ( Read more... )

Today was a rather relaxing day. We took time to go down to Seattle and visit the Elliot Bay Book Company. It is an independent bookstore in Pioneer Square. I had never been there before but had read about in my Seattle guide book and Katie and I had walked past there on Friday. Talk about a book lovers paradise. I have never seen a bookstore ( Read more... )

Just found out that Bon Jovi is going to be coming to Seattle for his new tour! Oh, I so have to get tickets!! Some of the family saw them in concert during his last tour and said they were amazing. I couldn’t go because I had finals…I am so going this time.

It was another busy day with Katie today. We rode the ferry to BainbridgeIsland and had ( Read more... )

Today, Katie and I took the train into Seattle and visited Pike Place Market. It was nice to head down early on Friday morning because we beat the crowds. We had breakfast at Athenian Inn and watched the ferries come and go. After that we walked around the market and looked at the different stalls/venders. The wonderful thing about Pike Place ( Read more... )

Katie has landed and will be visiting until Monday! I am super excited to show her around the area. Katie is a classmate of mine from college and was in Japan for six months while I was there. It is going to be great to see. She is my first friend visiting me in Seattle!

Last night I went and watched the Seattle Thunderbirds play hockey. The Thunderbirds played the Prince George Cougars.  Andrea and I went with a friend that I met on the train, some of his co-workers and one of my friends from Bellingham. It was great to watch a game; I had forgotten how much I enjoyed watching hockey and the arena is really nice. ( Read more... )

I am not a huge baseball fan…ok; I am not a fan at all. Nevertheless, last night I went to a Mariners’ game and was able to watch Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro play. It was awesome! I got to see two of the best baseball players play for the same team!

It was my first time at a professional baseball game and I thought it was fun but there was way too ( Read more... )

The show started at two and we (being the Roomie and I) arrived at 1:00 so we could check out the merchandize and find our seats. Normally we sit somewhere in the balcony but because this was Wicked we had my boss (who is a season ticked holder) get us seats on the main floor. We started walking towards our seats and kept on walking. The stage was ( Read more... )

Chenthu arrived on Saturday in time for dinner so we headed out to the Cheesecake Factory. I mean, who doesn’t love cheesecake? Really, the food there is good and I recommend getting the cheesecake to go because you need to take your time and enjoy it. Plus one piece really isn’t enough so it is better to get it to go so you are not tempted to keep ( Read more... )
