Seattle, the nice town

PC and I just got back from a great vacation in Seattle. We visited my bro, aka Bubba, whom I definitely don't see often enough. It was so much fun! It was like being a kid again, only better because now we have the Internet.

Seattle is such a nice town, y'all! On Friday, I left my purse at Starbucks and didn't notice until we got back to Bubba's apartment. I freaked because my purse contained everything someone needed to steal my identity in about 3.5 seconds. (It also contained my gold princess phone, which I confess I was more worried about losing than my identity.) Anywho, somebody at Starbucks turned my purse in and didn't touch anything - not even the $34 cash in my wallet!

Seattle is also a very quiet place. Everyone talks like they're telling secrets all the time. Bubba and I are Texans, and Hedgpeths, which means we have two volumes: loud and louder. We did a lot of catching up, all of which was overheard by every patron of every coffee shop, restaurant and movie theater we entered over the course of five days. I hope we at least sounded entertaining, if not smart.

Amazingly, it didn't rain once our entire trip. The sun shined every day, which ruined PC's and my plans to find a real vampire. Oh yes, we're reading the Twilight series, and we were totally stoked about spending five days in the Cullens' backyard. Alas, they must have all stayed inside to avoid twinkling in the sun. (Twilight vampires don't rot - they sparkle.). We didn't even see a lousy werewolf. But it was not a total loss, because the nice weather let us enjoy lots of other fun stuff:

Bubba at the beach, looking tall.


We built this awesome fort. Not really, but we did discover it and climb in.

We found an old-school slide, the kind you can break your leg on. Ready, set, go!


Whee!


That's how it's done.



View from Bubba's balcony. For real, dude.


Kodak moment.


PC came, too.
