Back from Seattle. I went to go visit my friend Jed who moved up there with his girlfriend. I spent 7 days up there, did a bunch of cheesy touristy stuff, went to Vancouver, hiked Mt. Rainier and had a host of shenanigans. Here is a sampling of some of the stuff I did/saw

I found out that Bruce and Brandon Lee were buried in Seattle. So of course we had to go and visit it


Went to go visit Kurt Cobain's house. Right next to it there is a small park and the 2 benches there pretty much became shrines to Nirvana

The day before I had to leave my friend took me up to Mt. Rainier for a hike. What was suppose to be a 2 hour hike turned into a 4 hour one. We were all exhausted afterwards but it was an amazing experience.










This is a 22 oz. pint of Black Butte porter. A proper way to end my Seattle trip.



I'm so glad I went. A lot of times I say I want to do things but never really follow through with them. I stuck to my guns this time and had one of the best times of my life. I feel like I have the traveling bug and now want to see the rest of the world. Hrm.... Maybe Peru next year... EL SUICIDO LOCO

P.S.
You would think that after all that I would take a little break and relax. Nay I say! Been partying since the 23rd and won't stop till I have to go to work (thank you holiday weekend!).

Yes, for my deviated septum, they're also gonna do some other stuff. Looks like you had a fantastic time! It looks like I may be going to Seattle at the beginning of October to see an Angel's game and sight see. I'm kinda excited about it.

Seems we barely missed each other. I was up there for PAX.
