seattle

it feels like so long ago i was in seattle, but in reality it was only two weeks ago! the seattle conference went well, especially since it was my first time working that particular conference. but it was fun and i enjoyed working it, and i'm looking forward to the next few months of conferences. i had a minor freakout on friday morning, but that was just me stressing myself out about life and such, having nothing to do with the conference and just the crazy my life has become....

so after the conference ended sunday afternoon - we all gathered to watch the super bowl and had a fun evening watching football, laughing at the commercials, betting on the game, making fun of the glee episode and laughing. it was a great night of staff bonding and fun!

so monday morning i set off to explore a new city - seattle! it was also my first time in washington state - so another part of my 30 by 30 in the state category! i've now been to 27 states with washington! so i was uber excited to play in seattle, as i've always wanted to go to the pacific northwest and now i can't wait to go back! so i walked around the pike place market a bit, then went on a canal lock tour of seattle, which was awesome. then i popped over to the aquarium, which i was disappointed by. and then went to check out the space needle at night and had the world's best nachos for dinner. they were bbq chicken nachos and had the best salty and sweetness to them. i want them again! i was exhausted, so i went back to get some sleep! tuesday i set out to just explore the city and have fun walking around. and i did that :) there were some places i just didn't have the time to get out to. i would have loved to go to freemont, and explore u wash's campus, but i just didn't have the time. and i want to get a car and drive around washington, go to mt. rainier and the other national parks in the area. so i loved seattle and i can't wait to go back :)
