Update..

I'll be updating the travel log when I have time.  School started, so I wont have the time right now to rewrite everything that happened during my trip until later.

Time Flies...

My goodness!  With summer classes finally ending today, I realized I haven't done much planning for my trip to the east coast yet.... I leave on MONDAY!

That's not good...
Got to start planning out what I need to bring, what bag to use and where we're going to go.  Plus we need addresses and directions just in case.

It's going to be a busy busy BUSY weekend too.  Hair appointment tomorrow, Concert on Saturday night and then got a party Sunday night.. So I got to do as much as possible before Monday since we gotta be at the airport by 4:30 am!!

Time, can you please slow down just a bit?

All Set..

Well, plans are all set to hit the East Coast this summer.  August 16-22 is official.

Day 4 (day 2) - Back Home

Date: June 12, 2010 (Saturday)

Time: 8:52am

Sitting here at Seattle-Tacoma Airport waiting to board the plane.  The airport looks better than when we had the stopver from Japan.  Our departure gate is also twice as big.

Just chilling here and facing me is this huge Apolo Ohno sign about that Hawaii sweepstakes that pretty much already happened.  nice to see the sign's still up haha.  At security earlier, the guard frisked me probably cuz my shirts too big haha. If it didn't beep, then what do you think i'm hiding?  My bag also went back into the xray.. or maybe they checked the person after me.. all I know is my box rolled back in haha.

So recap of Thursdays shenanigans.. After bathroom haha.

Time: 9:27am

Apparently our flight is delayed for a couple minutes since the plane isn't here.

So Thursday.. Finally.

Our day consisted of going to Tacoma and Federal Way.

Tacoma first at around 9:30am.  Went to the AAA Minor league stadium for the Mariners.  The Tacoma Rainiers @ Cheney Stadium.  Randomly, the stadium is in a complex with a high school (Henry Foss High).  Took a couple pictures, then headed toward Tacoma Dome.  Totally can't miss that thing.

... Finish on aircraft.. gonna board, I think.

Time: 10:40-ish am

On the plane and got a beautiful view of Seattle at take off.  The mountain areas still covered in snow looked so pretty.  Let me finish the recap of Thursday so I can sleep haha.

After Tacoma Dome, headed to Federal Way.  Straight to "the Commons" mall so we can grab a quick bite to eat.  Looked around a bit, but nothing special.  Kind of looks like Newpark mall.

After, drove around to all the parks.. I take back about going to the mall first.  Headed to Dash Point FIRST, then Steel Lake Park.  Both were fishing areas.  Nothing much to look at except the scenery. 

After headed to the mall, then to Pattison's West so I could take a picture of where Apolo Ohno and JR Celski used to do inline.

Couldn't stop at Powellswood, so ended up going to Redondo Beach, then to Des Moines beach.

Got lost and drove around and around looking at trees and random residential areas.  Finally headed back to Redondo Beach to eat at Salty's Restaurant.  So expensive! $40 each including tip!

After dinner, headed back finally and that was the end of the day.  I forgot to write all the details, but i'll save that for the blog writing.

As for now, the drink cart is going around.  Just waiting to see if I can get my final "Seattle's Best" coffee haha.
