Seattle Sentiments

Our road trip to Seattle was amazing! We went to the Univeristy of Washington campus, the Space Needle, the Seattle LDS Temple, Pike's Place Market, and my personal favorite, the Seattle Aquarium. The aquarium was right on the water front and had a petting pool where you could touch (with one finger and one finger only, according to the staff) all kinds of starfish, sea cucumbers, and anemonies. Starfish are rough and not as spongy as they look, but sea cucumbers are slimey and very squishy. I felt quite invasive touching them. My favorite animals to watch were the otters and a giant puffer fish that floated around and bumped into things like he had special needs. All in all, our trip was a huge success and I would like to thank Anna, Eric, Curt, and Meg for sponsoring it. Below are some photos of our adventure!

24 Hours in a Car...

Wow, there are road trips, and then there are ROAD TRIPS and what I am about to describe was the latter. Curtis, Megan, Paul, and Alison embarked on an epic adventure that would lead them through excitement, danger, and outrageous musical stylings unprecedented and irreplicable by modern science as of the date of this publication. I think one of the high points of the marathon car ride from Logan, Utah to Seattle, Washington was when Curt and Paul, overcome by Taco Time fumes, decided to cement their friendship in semi-permanent ink. The footage that follows may shock you... at least it does me.
