me. lately: seattle

once upon a time

(february 2011)

 i suggested to my friend emily beesley that we should

a. go on a trip together

b. run a marathon. 

so we found a marathon in seattle. 

we thought: two birds one stone. 

well then life happened.

(bought a house, lots of friends got married, grandma died, finals, mid-terms, laziness) 

and i didn't train for it. 

but she did. and the trip was already planned. 

so last weekend i spent in seattle. 

and i loved it. 

(loved it like i had to call my mom at the airport in order to get a pep-talk to get back on the plane to come home)

here are some photo's:

the hostel we stayed at was right outside of pikes place.  amazing location.

canoed through this loveliness.

visited (and stayed) on vashon island. where i stayed for 6 weeks as a freshman in college.

(which i realized was 10 years ago. how'd that happen??)

 love this girl. 

 explored book shops.

 lots of random sculptures.

 canoed.

 hung out. 

 hung out at parks. 

 hung out at random statues. 

 slept in random tee-pee's. 

 the owl tee-pee to be exact. 

 hung out at the bike in the tree. 

 stuck gum on the gum wall. 

and watched (and supported) emily run her first marathon. 

great trip. 

great trip.

made me want need to start traveling again. 

lots more adventures to come!
