Once upon a time...

... way back in the early part of August, we took a trip to the Seattle area to see the Camster
(not to be confused with a Hamster though they do have some similarities

note the reddish fur ...er... hair, jaunty tilt of the head and amused smiles)

We did a few tourist-y things:

visited the space needle - which Tess and I found vaguely nauseating


bought crap souvenirs at the first Starbucks - Tess and I found this much less nauseating



ate space noodles - oops, more nausea - with the most indigestion-inducing pesto sauce ever produced.

enjoyed the tour at the Red Hook Ale brewery - new favorite beers found!

we did some not necessarily tourist-y things:

tried to furnish Cam's apartment - not so successfully - Wow, is he picky!

saw Young Frankenstein on it's way to Broadway. Fun! Great sets and all the best jokes are there - Roll, roll, roll in the hay...



celebrated Hillary's 15th birthday at the Cheesecake Factory with some of Cam's friends - nice.




and headed off into the sunset
