A Partial Review . . . . from Seattle

Hello all! Well, I'm back and I took the weekend off to get things done and to get some pictures off my camera. The still aren't all out, but as I'm making sure that everything is ready to go for my graduation, getting pictures off my camera really isn't on my priority list.

I'll post more pictures as I sort through them, but here is a quick review of how my last week went.

Saturday
We took off saturday afternoon. It was kind of a bumpy ride, and there was a flight attendant that thought he was funny, but really wasn't. He didn't make the trip any better. When we landed, it was great to feel the coolness in the air. Going from 100+ to about 75 is amazing! It was funny to feel that most of the buildings still had air conditioning going on. I didn't think they needed it, but I'm happy for it anyway! After we were picked up by Jakob's parents, we went to a theatre production of Oklahoma. It was a total rip-off of the Hugh Jackman version; right down to some of the costumes and the set. Yes, there was some originality to it and some of the actors you wanted to shoot! and don't get me started on the "dancing" but there were some great little highlights.

Sunday
Just a lazy normal sunday

Monday
Monday was seriously a full day. We got up early and went to the zoo! I don't remember the last time that I was at a zoo, and we were there early enough that we saw some of the animals getting fed. I've got a few pictures up, but I'll have to put up the video I have of an Otter getting food out from a tube. That was fun to watch!

We got there right before a lot of the groups showed up, so we had a nice time looking at all the animals.

I don't think Jakob realized that I took this picture, but I was trying to get the name of the place in and he just kind of stepped in front of the camera.

Doesn't Jakob fit right in with the Lemur family? tee hee hee
This was just too cute to pass up. I love the zoom on my camera!

After the zoo we went to the glass museum. That was fun. It was amazing to see what people can make out of glass. They have a part of the museum called the "Hot Shop" and you can see some of the artisans at work. When we were there, we saw them making a dinosaur head and some sort of vase or other little object. I wish I could have taken some pictures, but it was amazing to see the security they had up to prevent people from doing that. I've got a picture from the outside of the building.

As a saying goes. . . 'leave them wanting more' so I'll leave you with those few pictures and I'll write more later. (actually, I've got to get back to work)

More to come. Stay tuned. . . . .
