seattle.

I'm back. And it's very nice to be home. I sure missed my hubby, but Heather & I had lots of fun! Here are some highlights:

we didn't go to the space needle. we read some reviews that said it was a waste of $16.00. but we did see it from the freeway. and that was good enough for me.

.

we ate WAY too much. i need to have a post-travel fast.

.

it was green & beautiful. it was also very cold, wet & windy.

.

we rode in a "town car" {whatever the heck that means....} into downtown & went shopping! our driver's name was hamlet and when we called him to pick us up, we couldn't understand a WORD he said. it was embarrassing.

we rode in the hotel shuttle to the local shopping mall on wednesday & thursday. we were the only ones on the shuttle, and our friend hong {the bell man slash shuttle driver} was playing hilarious romantic r&b music both times he picked us up. we think he was trying to pick up on us.

.

katie told me we should go to the nordstrom in seattle. we just had the driver drop us off at a convenient place and surprise surprise, it was right in front of nordstrom. it was enormous {5 floors}.

.

we watched half of men in black and half of the truman show. now we need to rent them & watch the other halves.

.

the seminar was fun. it was nice to have heather there to help me! sean usually sits in the hotel room all day :)

.

heather and i got a whole lot of grief from several participants about our lack of skiing experience {neither of us has ever been!} given that we live in Utah.

.

i saw more homosexuals than i have ever seen in my life. we also saw a transvestite with fire-engine-red hair. i am so sheltered here in utah :)

.

Heather got sick on Friday night. She woke me up out of a deep sleep to ask me if I was sick too :)
