Seattle '07

Matt and I went to Seattle in July 2007 to visit our friends Darren and Keisha. We fell in love with the place. It is so pretty there. I love that everything is green.
We spent the first night in Spokane actually and stayed with one of my very best friends in the world Jacob Andrew Rennaker (the first). That kid cracks me up!! He always has something clever to say. It was really good to see him and his family. They are all so great!! After sleeping for a couple of hours and grabbing some lunch with Jacob we hit the road again and drove the rest of the way to Seattle. Luckily we had the sixth Harry Potter on CD so we listened to that our whole drive. Great book!!! We made it to the Knight residence safe and sound and just relaxed for a little while. Then we went and met up with our good friend from high school Carrie. She is so cute! Darren and Keisha took us around Seattle the next day. We went to the Locks and watched the boats come in and out. And then we went and saw the troll under the bridge. It was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen. It was a sculpture of a huge troll that was made under a bridge. Really neat, but really weird at the same time. While we were in Seattle we also went to the EMP (Experience the Music Project). Awesome!! Then we went to the 7-11 that was transformed into a Kwik-E-Mart for the Simpsons movie. Matt was so excited!! He got a pink donut and I got a Squishee. Both items were fabulous. We also went to Pike Street Market and The Pacific Science Center. After a couple of days in the city we went with Darren and Keisha to Darren's parents cabin. It was amazing. It was a little too cold for me to go out on the Lake everyday, but just being able to be there was awesome! It was nice and secluded. And so peaceful and relaxing. We had such a great time. Matt and I have talked about Seattle and we both want to go back again soon!!
