Seattle for July

Mike came down to California every weekend in June. So July was time for me to come up every weekend (and for a good week). After Mike and I got iphones on July 11th I've had a good time taking pictures of our Seattle adventures. I feel a lot less awkward breaking out my iphone and taking a pic than my real camera (although I have some on that too). Btw, just in case you were wondering, I love my iphone. I know you've heard all your friends that have them talk about how much they love them, but I really do. A lot. I didn't know I could love a phone.


Mike and I took a ferry ride and ate dinner on it. I love the ferries of Seattle. July 11th. First day of iphone bliss.


This is pretty much the view from Mike's house (but you get to see more of the mountains where he is).


Next day: Seattle adventures. Mike is my favorite person to photograph. He always pulls a new face.


Second visit to Trophy cupcakes. Still not in love but I haven't tried the S'more cupcake, and they will do while I'm away from Lulu's, Sprinkles and Kara's.


Dick's. Quite possibly my favorite burger chain ever. The best part about last weekend 's visit (this cup was from a couple weeks ag0) was that I had an in-and-out burger right before I got on the plane to Seattle, and then after I landed we went to Dick's for a Dick's Deluxe.


Reason No. 524 why I love him. He's had this turtle up on his rearview mirror ever since I've known him. Donatello is awesome.


Self-portraits don't always turn out awesome. Does this even look like me? I look like I have bangs.


My favorite carwash sign since I was a kid.


A bonus during the car ride.


An awesome bookstore in downtown Seattle.


I love book stores like this.



They were cones! See what I mean about the faces he pulls? Never a dull photography moment.


God bless America. And how awesome are Virgin America's wing tips?


I think he looks like Guy Smiley in this one.


A Seattle classic. The first. The original.

I was so happy to find out they have a Buffalo exchange in the U-district. Mike found this awesome Nike Jacket. Too bad it was one size too small. But we found him other treasures. After that we saw this awesome piece of cinema. Clever and pretty.


Reason No. 323 why I love my iphone. It lead me to this glorious place of business when I was in dire need of a big gulp.


Mike's brother is selling his Porshe so we took it out for a spin.


Saturday was a lazy Saturday and we loved it. After months of jam-packed weekends full of wedding plans and going places, we needed a day with no particular plans at all. We slept in, giggled in the morning, went to IHOP for some delicious chocolate chip pancakes and stuffed french toast. Then we parked it on the couch, watching baseball, playing guitar hero, and introducing Mike to the wonderful world of 30 ROCK. We only left the house for food. It was really lazy and of course, super awesome.



And just to make sure I had a great weekend, I took Monday off too. I didn't really feel like getting up at 5 AM to catch my flight in the morning. So I played with this guy instead.


Oh the joys of an iphone camera. Phew. Long post. Just trying to make up for lost time.

So many comments! I'll probably forget and end up piece-posting them. :)

Yes you do look like you have bangs, but it's still a good pic and it does look like you.

I agree with Jane and love that she put that note up about East of Eden. I can't remember having a post high school connection with a book like I did with that one.

I love the red vines sandwhiched by the big gulps. BTW I felt like I was looking at YOUR living room (meaning the future living room of you and the mr.)

But they were cones! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE promise me that if you are doing any table seating for your wedding that you will put me at table nine.

Long distance. Sigh. Glad to hear you are in a good pattern.

Lazy Saturdays. Bigger sigh. And inner peace.

Love the "long post". Hope the conversion to iPhone worship is indicative of more frequent posts. (Not casting any stones, b/c I'm the worst blogger. Ever.)
