It's 8:46PM and I'm about to go to sleep—that's how tired I am. And it's not like I even did all that much, really. Well, at least not much other than driving.
Yesterday we got up early and walked down town and picked up our rental car. It was supposed to be a mid-size but all they had was a big Ford Freestar van (with DVD player!), so we've been cruising in that chick mobile the last two days. It's actually kind of fun to drive the big automatic-transmission van after driving the little manual Saturn the last year.
We picked up Erin and headed drove around all the old spots—the house we lived in before we moved to NJ, the high school I (and Erin) went to, all that good stuff. The place hasn't changed much. Then we stopped for food at Red Robin (always a classic) and dropped in on Steve's parents to say hi. We eventually headed back to Seattle and then drove over to Ballard where we walked around a bit and had some cupcakes.
Ended the day with a late showing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (good, not great, story felt too compacted) and got back the hotel at about 2AM.
This morning we had to be up at 7AM to go to a photo shoot Katia had to manage for work (the good thing about combining a little work with your vacation is that you get some of it compensated). In the afternoon we headed over to visit with my Great Aunt who I haven't seen a really long time and spent a few hours there.
Now, at 8:52PM, I'm ready to hit the sack. Hopefully tomorrow the fog will finally lift and I'll be able to get some pictures of the city. One more full day and then we're off to Japan on Tuesday morning.
I've been adding photos and you can find them slowly piling up in my Seattle set. Unfortunately, I forgot to install iPhoto on this PowerBook before we left so I've had to upload files with the Flickr Uploadr, which means it's too much work to tag, title and describe them. Hopefully I'll have more time later.
