San Juan Islands

[pdanielson]

A couple of weekends ago, I headed off to the San Juan islands with some friends for a week. We spent part of the time on Lopez Island, where my buddy Damon's parents have a place his dad designed and built, and the other part camping on Orcas Island. To get to the islands from Seattle, you drive or take a shuttle from SeaTac a couple hours north

We have taken eerily similar pictures:

Then we need to play sometime, because it is awesome. Apparently they used to have an online version, but it got canceled awhile ago. Boooo.

We go to Chicago a lot. We were just there in August, but it was while you were in San Juan or something bc your Twitter was like LEAVING TOWN FOR TWO WEEKS! Lame. I wanted to get the address of your super spicy Thai place, too. Sadness.

Look me up next time you're in town - I should be around for awhile now since I don't have any more big vacations planned for the rest of the year.

Pho's Hot & Spicy Thai - 3332 N. Lincoln Ave. Tell him Paul sent you, and that you want it extra hot. You'll also see my picture up on the spice wall of fame.

We've played that game only once, but it is amazing. Because I won it.

I like those pictures, it looks like so much fun.

It was a great trip. It's too bad Facebook doesn't have a Settlers of Catan app.

Seriously, that would be pretty awesome. I spent like 5 hours last saturday playing civilization (at the computer) which is obvs not the same but I'm a giant nerd so um, moving on.

She played that game with me. And you won ONE game. I won the other. :-P

[eyelid]

did you mean to put the sushi and the gum photos, which are eerily similar looking, right together?

[pdanielson]

In the sense that they were taken a few hours apart, yes. But you're right, they do look disturbingly similar. It's not as bad as passing my iPhone around the table because part of the sashimi assortment was geoduck, and my friends had no idea what it looks like before it's sliced up...

catan rules. but i can't get any of my loser housemates to play.

[pdanielson]

Maybe it's because I only end up playing it when I'm with this particular group of friends, but I can't get enough of it.

Those jellyfish look an awful lot like starfish...

[pdanielson]

I'm quite sure I have no idea what you're talking about!

Marine biology, again taken down by the mighty power of the editing capabilities on the internetz.
