Seattle Trip 2008
Flew to Seattle to visit Jerylin, starting Tuesday.
Thursday:
- Walked over to the area around Trophy Cupcakes, had lunch at Chutney's.
- Pike's Market :) Lots of raspberries, was tempted to buy crab, bought peaches from California...I FEEL CHEATED!! Ate mini-donuts :)
- Walked around furniture area with Jery. Found interesting sofas, like inflatable air mattress tops on pull-out sofas and coffee tables that popped up to be at the ideal height to put a laptop or drink on it.
- Ate bratwursts from a Bavarian place at Pike's Market. The lady was pretty awesome, telling us about travel in Europe. We also bought a pack of Dutch syrup waffles, Stroopies :) Tried to eat artichokes, as in the large green thing. I found out that it's not for me.
Friday:
- Brunch at Voulas with Jery. Eggs benedict is good.
- Stood in line for the iPhone for three hours. THREE HOURS a week after the phone was released! But it wasn't a bad wait. Talked with the people around me, found access to the Apple Network and chatted online.
- Phone's nice :) 3G is worth it, good apps, pretty easy to use. I'll buy more protective gear later :)
- Visited Jery's work and watched "Dr. Horrible"...Doogie Howser, what have you done?
- Went to Ivar's and enjoyed the setting sun at 9 pm.
- Brett arrived!
Saturday:
- Watched Firefly
- Went to "Bite of Seattle", had alligator skewers, jambalaya, Crayfish stew, stood in line for organic stuffs. It was pretty big!
- Walked over to the Olympic Sculpture Park
- Started walking back home, kinda, and then got lost...which is a typical occurrence in Seattle for me. Walked over 4 miles before Mike picked us up.
- Went out for Mexican food and Coldstone (had a butterfinger waffle cone; next time, we bring lactaid)
Sunday:
- Finished "Firefly" and "Serenity"
- Brunch at Silent-Heart-Nest, which is a bit...odd, but the food is good. I don't recommend the pomegranate juice, as it is REAL pomegranate juice. I diluted it with water and added sugar @_@
- Went to Theo Chocolate factory
- Went to BBQ at Jerylin's lab mates. They had rockband :)
Monday:
- Hemi, in his over-exuberance, ran over my face. That was how I woke up today.
- Missed Will's calls, when his flight was delayed. I'm sorry :(
- Had "vegetable soba", at the Uwajimaya Center
- Pudding tea at the Chinatown area
- Visited Dry Soda and walked around the area, where they sell utility kilts and have underground tours.
