Seattle, Last Day: Departure Days 4(Jun. 15) and 5(Jun. 16) were all taken with my film camera, Canon A-1 SLR. I haven't scanned them yet, so bare with me.
My trip in Seattle was splendid. Seattle treated me well and I would love to visit again in the future. The flight home was quick and interesting. Sat next to a religious man and he preached 'bout God, but his up bringing was interesting. Plus, he used to live in the Coachella Valley. Interesting chizz.
Tyler, Cody, Carlos, Krystina and I think Gabe came over during the evening. Good way to end a trip. And I gave 'em their gifts.
Seattle, Day 3: Space Needle
Mall with aunt's friend then Natalie and I got to celebrate our birthday at the Space Needle for dinner:
Sky City Restaurant
Space Needle
400 Broad Street
Seattle, WA 98109
Did you know the floor in the Space Needle rotates? Well, it does. People eating within the restaurant placed notes on the window sill for others to interact with. Damn good fun.
Seattle, Day 2: Downtown Seattle
Rent-a-Car from Hertz. Drove 'bout 20 minutes to downtown Seattle. Ate lunch at Thoa's:
Thoa's Restaurant & Lounge 96 Union Street
Seattle, WA 98101
A Vietnamese cuisine. I got some bomb ass Kobe patty with gravy and rice. DAMNGOOD, I still fantasize 'bout it. Went to a fisherman's market called Pike Place. Great stores and the energy is great. Tried some free tea. Then Capitol Hill where I am sure they have Pride there. Found nice thrift stores. Headed home, but took a detour to the Westfield in Seattle. It's GODDAMN HUGE. Three stories high, we barely walked the whole thing.
Seattle, Day 1: Arrival
Palm Springs Airport to Sea-Tac Airport in Seattle. Flight was slightly tiring. Aunt's friend came to pick us up. Went to dinner at Chandler's Crabhouse:
Chandler's Cove, South Lake Union
901 Fairview Ave. North

Their daughter, Meghan, was adorable and it made us miss my baby sis, Kyle. Good chill evening as a start off to our trip. High point? The city stays light 'til 10PM! It's pretty damn great, hah.
