On Friday evening, Brian & co. drove me to the airport, where I could have missed my flight if it wasn't delayed 90 MINUTES! Thanks for small blessings? Anyhow, even though the airport was swamped with other delayees, it could have been worse. I met a couple on their way to Portland and had a hilarious conversation with them during our eternalong wait for a Pastrami Reuben. Which is a terrible choice of food for the airport - way too messy. Earlier in the day on Friday, I got some troubling news. And the extra time at the airport helped me shake it off a bit. I didn't want it to ruin my trip, and even though it lingered a bit I was able to put my thoughts in order while I waited to board.
I finally did get to Seattle. And when I landed I was totally wired because I had coffee on the plane LOL. Victor picked me up! :) And I couldn't stop talking! But we had to wait for the girls from Switzerland to land because their flight got delayed too. :( By the time we were all pickeded upped, it was too late to go anywhere crazy. We ended up at a Korean bar where we ate and drank, and everyone knew Victor's name LOL. Two of his friends that I'd met when he was here in San Francisco showed up shortly after. We didn't stay that long though, and I was so glad to get back to the house and just chill. We ended up drinking more and staying up super late, and I was def glad when it was time for bed.
On Saturday we had dim sum, and then went back to the house to hang out. The girls were speaking Swiss German. Man, there is something about German that just sounds awesome! After catching up on Jersey Shore, we went to the Space Needle and to Westlake for touristy things. The girls went shopping while Victor and I went to eat, and then we all went back home. For dinner we had Thai food - the Thai food in Seattle is a lot better than the Thai food I've had in SF. King of Thai is SO garbage. Blehk. We ended up being too tired to go out (not my fault), so we stayed at Vic's place and people came over to party. There was a whole fiasco about trying to get alcohol, and I will probably never like the idea of government-controlled liquor. I guess I'm spoiled by my easy access to alcohol. <3 SF. We played one of the Kinect dance games, OMG SO FUN!! GRREAT workout! I want ~
Sunday we had lunch at Vic's parents' house. For the very first time in my life I wrapped a spring roll - I'm pretty much a natural. We went shopping again after, spent a lot of time wandering around this store called Fireworks? Or Fireflies? and it had all kinds of cool knick-knacks. I WISH WE HAD THOSE HERE!!! We dropped the girls off at the airport, and drove around for a bit. We stopped to get Trophy's cupcakes and FRAN'S CHOCOLATES!!! YUM yum :D Later for dinner, we ended up at a cute little neighborhood joint called Lynn's Bistro. I ordered swordfish, which I DON'T like but I always order because it sounds cool. I think this happened at Bouchon in Vegas last time. Sigh. Anyway, everything else was really good :) Chicken Liver Pate nommmmmmmmmmmmm. We had a cozy movie night and I FINALLY WATCHED TOY STORY 3! The movie was soooo well written, I laughed and smiled and giggled. The new characters are absodorable. I see why it's up for an Academy Award!
Monday was a lazy Sunday. We went to lunch at Elliot's. O, M, G. The food was SO good! The spicy crab and corn chowder...... ... .... UuUuUUber delicious. That might have been the favorite segment of my trip! The rest of the day we just hung out. I was exhausted! Matt came over for a bit and it was good to see him again. The last time I saw him he was rolling around in a melted chocolate bar!! By 7 I was off to the airport, and I got home around midnight. GEEZ it was hard to wake up for work today. The trip was fun, although I wish I hadn't been so tired. I'll blame it on PMS and stress. Seattle isn't as gorgeous in the winter as it is in the summer, but it still kind of is. Lots of good eats, lively company, smiles all around.
If you like the taste of diarrhea you'll love King of Thai. And you look SUPER Asian in that picture. And your blogs seem to be about food a lot... Start a "Food" label and see how often you use it.
