SEATTLE WASHINGTON

Seattle Washington, Fall Break

Me and Toad in front of the pretty Light House!

So for fall break this year and as my early birthday present I took my first adult trip to Seattle Washington, to visit the Deavers. My first flight was delayed an hour and a half because the plane was broken, I guess good thing that we didn't just go, like I had asked. I sat by a 65 year old lady who thought that pot should legalized and a 45 year old man who wanted the drinking age lowered. It was quite the adventure.







One of the things I got to experience was a Ferry Boat ride, every since I had seen Grey's Anatomy I have had the desire to ride one. The one we went on was called the Walla Walla, it was amazing to have the cold sea breeze in your hair. I most admit that I was a little scared that it was going to crash, but it would have been nice to tour the Seattle Grace Hospital, which I also found out that it is not real.



The ferry took us to Port Townsend, it is a small pirate town. The entire time I was lucky enough to listen to see who was more or a pirate, LauriAnn or Joe. In the end I still think I won. We toured the town, and it was really nice to walk around a small town and see the small town folk. We then ate lunch at a 50's diner. I had a vanilla Phosphate, it was tasty.
We also scored a lot of sea shells on the beach, it was quite they day of adventures!









This is me on a beach at sunset, it was hot! Canada is in the background, you can kind of see it. This was a really nice place to! It was right by a light house, I was able to take Deavers Christmas picture, it defiantly was one for the books.



Don't fear, I have already been asked if these are my kids. I mean I think I could pull it off, but you know I still look a little young for two kids. This was an abandoned shack on the side of the road, it was a great photo stop while we were on a walk! It was so fun to see Madison and Toad again. They had some great one liners, Toad would only say CHEESE to me.


My Favorite
Madison: "Clare where you going now?" (as I was packing to leave)
Clare: "I am going back to college."
Madison: "Oh back to all the boys?"
They also have a place matt with all of the presidents pictures and names on it, so at breakfast I was like Madison which one are you, and she pointed to the right one, then I asked thinking she wouldn't know which one was Hayes, and she points to the right one. AND THEN, she looks at me and goes Clare which one are you, and all I say is I wasn't named after a president. And she just replies "oh you didn't run yet?"-ha ha
But anyways it was a really fun birthday trip and I was glad to go and see that side of the fam again! They were all great fun, and we made lots of trips to Starbucks, and did lots and lots of shopping. We also at at Taste of India, it is rated in the Zygote (GILMORE GIRLS) where I tried Coconut Chicken Curry, it was yum yum!
