Ok so to kick off Summer the fam decided to go to Washington to visit more of the family~ Can I just say it was freaking gorgeous. I didn’t want to come home! The weather was perfect. I even had to wear a jumper in the mornings and in the evenings. It didn’t feel like Arkansas weather where you step outside and feel as if you can’t breathe. It was a nice change of scenery. Especially when you fly. The St. Paul/Minneapolis airport was like 3294832 more nicer than the AR one. I found it interesting that down where the metro’s carry people to different gates, well they had signs and intercoms in English and Korean.

I’m sorry if this doesn’t wooo most of you but remember I’m from Arkansas and to see something Korean here would be a complete shock. Annnd for some reason my parents think I can understand Korean just because I like Japanese. Can’t tell you how may time on the metro they asked me what it was saying XD
Another first for me was riding a ferry! The town we stayed in, Bremerton, you can drive to Seattle from there or take a ferry. So with traffic being what it was and up for a new experience, ferry it was.





My sis, Alicia (yellow scarf), cousin Kim (black jacket) and me~ The scenery was from the view of the ferry as we were arriving in Seattle. And the last shot is of a seagull! I was so excited to see one O_O (I named him Gully XD) It was a nice ride and only too us about an hour or less to get to Seattle. The ride to Seattle is free, but coming back you gotta pay like $5
Dowtown Seattle, is like wooahhw._. People everywhere, and all types of people of that. One of the places we headed off to first was the Pike Place Market. That’s the one you might have seen on TV that where if you order a fish they throw it over the counter thing. Anthony Bourdain went there too.

We went twice. Even on Monday this place was packed! I didn’t get to see them actually throw a fish but the guys that worked there were very lively and even sang a little. This place was at the corner of where Pike Place started it was inside this looong indoor flea market kind of set up. There was everything in there. Ot course more fish stands, jewlery, restuarants, flowers, clothing, even a stand that was selling replica from the Zelda game XD


And so we looked around like all the other tourists until we finished with Pike Place and then we decided to head on over to China Town via metro. We then stopped at a place to grab some lunched at:


Hee hee “Ho Ho” I think my dad got a kick outta that. BTW the food was yuuumy! Well even before we left for Washington, I wanted to go to one place O_O! And that place happened to be right in China Town. So thanks to Destini via Vanessa XD I got direction tooo Kinokuniya <333 I didn’t take any pic cause I was too busy searching through all the mags. Which BTW had KJ8 on like every cover. I’m not a fan so I wasn’t that thrilled sorry. All the mags were from like May and June so I’d already seen most of them scanned up on LJ. So I didn’t get any Arashi mags, buuuuut I did manage to convince myself after a 15 min debate or YES NO in whether or not to get one particular mag (TWIN REKI shoutout!) So I got this..
I couldn’t resist! Look how hot he isssss<33 no matter what Gwendy says
Ugh I’m sooo glad I got it. It even came with that duffle bag thing in the corner. Which I mad my sis bring as a carry on cause I couldn’t fit my boots in our luggage >.>
There are alot more random pics but I’ll upload them in a folder to later viewing, for now.. oyasumi~
