Pacific North West Trip (Seattle, Sumas & Bellingham)

So this past weekend Lindsey and I traveled to Sumas Washington for a our Good Friends Samms and Cayla's wedding. We decided to spend some extra time in Seattle and seeing our other friends in Bellingham (Kurt and Mary: who I have not seen since their wedding 4 years ago - happy anniversary by the way!)

During our trip we did the following:
  • Flew on a very early plan 6am take off
  • Had lunch at Six Arms with Jim
  • Visit to the top of the DARTH VEDAR building in Seattle 73rd floor observatory with Jim
  • Outdoor sculpture garden in Seattle
  • Drinks with Katie & Jim at the Edgewater Hotel (Great conversation with the parents of Katie it was fun)
  • Dinner at Joey's (Like the kangaroo) fish market with the Brook's and Jim which was fun
  • Hiking Little Mt. Si with the Brook's
  • Kayaking on Lake Union with Mrs. De Marr
  • Dinner at a pizza joint with some SU people, Jim, Brook's and SOREN! then some random bars with $3 dollar covers - though we did miss the capitol hill bash and therefore VAMPIRE WEEKEND
  • Then it was too bed and travel to SUMAS for the wedding - first stop the Kale House
  • Then to Sumas for Samms & Cayla's Wedding which was just too much fun and too hard to explain everything that went on
    • Wedding
    • Gingerbread house
    • Photography (and video as well) - Avery
    • Fairy Hunt (yup that's right a fairy hunt)
    • Rockband with the kids
    • Wii with the kids
    • Drinking beer from wine bottles (Samms started it)
    • Staying till almost midnight with the NEW SAMMS and shutting down the wedding - I hope we were not a bother)
  • Beautiful Walk and lunch with Kurt and Mary in Bellingham (Thanks for lunch and for the company)
    • Comment from Lindsey "You have the nicest friends everywhere how is that?"
      • I'll of course take that as a compliment not an accusation of 'how did a retch like me end up with nice friends' thought I must say I ask myself this at times :)
  • Lovely afternoon BBQ with Jenny, Steve, Soren (+Semi-girlfriend ), Jim, and Tara
    • Hope the Ike's are feeling better
    • Jen and Ryanne where were ya?
  • Game of Shang-hi with the Brooks until about 11:30
  • 3AM wake up call for a 6AM flight
  • WORK!
Well everything was almost perfect on the trip (Except the 1st bullet and last 2, the weather the people the PNW!
