Wedding in Washington
Trip Statistics
Miles (round trip): 1612
States Traveled: California, Oregon, Washington
In car arguments: 0
Funny jokes: Too many to count
Consumables: 1 bottle of yummy mead, some strong lemon aid.
Notable observations: No rain, no longer an agriculture checkpoint for passenger vehicles, hills in Seattle are just as bad as in San Francisco.
Summary: I drove, I saw, I conquered.
Wordy summary:
It's been a long time since I've traveled to Washington. I believe I've made three trips total to the area. A trip in Jr. High where I visited the lovely city of Carnation, celebrated 4th of July, and helped row a boat out on duck lake. Visited Seattle center and had a gang sign flashed at me at the top of the space needle.
Two other trips, one of which was another 4th of July where the urban streets looked and sounded like a war zone with all the fireworks and projectiles flying through the air. This time I visited the great cities of Puyallup and Sumner, took a quick trip to an Indian reservation that netted me firecrackers that lasted a good seven years. The landmark I remember most on this trip was Snoqualme Falls. Unlike Beale Falls, AKA Shingle falls there is not a huge hike to get to the waterfall. You can feel and taste the spray as soon as you get out of your car.
My recent trip to Washington was mainly to attend a wedding in the city of Bremerton. An interesting town opposite Seattle through Puget Sound. Thanks to a ferry, we were able to access Seattle without much of a headache, and I didn't have to drive through city traffic.
All in all I had an excellent time. I stopped at a pirate shop in Seattle and got some booty, had a nice dinner at a seafood restaurant overlooking waterfront park, saw what all the shops had to offer at Pike Place Market, then returned the next day for some excellent smoked salmon chowder and scallops n' chips from Ivar's Seafood.
After the sight seeing, I got all gussied up and watched two friends that I've known for a year (but had not met in person) get hitched to each other. We had some pretty good times and were a bit silly, but as we all know meeting Internet friends is serious bidness.
