Sleepless in Seattle


We went to Seattle on Saturday for the Seahawks game. Well I didn't go for the game, I went for the shopping and hanging out in Seattle. Not going to waste my time at a football game. Are you nuts? Leave it to the nutty ones for that (not mentioning any names).

It was a great weekend. We booked into a hotel downtown and after a quick bite to eat, C and D headed to the game and I headed straight to the mall. Everything was in walking distance which made it perfect for all of us. I love downtown Seattle. It's like Vancouver but nicer. Or maybe because Vancouver's home it doesn't seem as nice to me as it does to tourists.

I shopped a little, ate great Mexican food, drank a fabulous Margarita on the rocks, and went outside and listened to music and watched people. After it started getting a little dark I walked to the hotel and watched a movie.

Seahawks won the game and in walked C and D all happy! yeah hawks!

We stayed in a room that was 'Victorian' in style but it really was like the inside of a circus tent. Everything was striped. Even the bathroom. It was like being in the inside of hat box. Or a popcorn box.

And then the fun began. We turned off the lights to go to sleep and just at the point where everyone's drifting off........the TV came on and then went off. What the ??? And a few minutes later just after the heart rate's gone down......it does it again! How weird is that!

Things that make you go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............had to go shopping at the Outlet mall Sunday to get it off my mind.
