Husky Stadium
Husky Stadium (UW‘s football stadium, which is “annually voted the most scenic football structure in the nation” due to its views of Lake Washington, Mt. Rainier, the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, and downtown Seattle) just started undergoing a significant makeover. Earlier this month, I snapped a picture of the stadium with only about 25% … Continue reading
Snow on the Ground
It is actually snowing legitimate snow now. 😛 It’s big, white, fluffy stuff – not the wet, drippy snow we had yesterday.
Snowmaggedon!!!
OMG, shut down everything! There is SNOW on the ground in Seattle! 😮 Seattleites don’t have a lot of experience with snow, so everybody takes it very seriously when there is snow in the forecast. For the last week and half, they have been talking about this weekend’s possible snow showers. They even extended the … Continue reading
Last Night’s Sunset
The sunset last night was amazing. Nick took the picture above when he was leaving work, but it doesn’t quite do the sunset justice. Check out KOMO’s photo gallery for more stunning sunset pictures.

Poor Amanda. 🙁 On Thursday … Continue reading

Our First PLU Concert & Other Stuff
Before we left Michigan, Nick and I had a friend of ours (Shaun Pezeshki) take some pictures of the two of us around Wayne State’s campus. We got the pictures back a few days ago and I think they turned out pretty well. A few of the best pictures are below: I have been craving turkey … Continue reading
The Burke Museum
On Thursday, we took advantage of free museum Thursday and went to The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, which is on the University of Washington campus. Dad had never been to UW’s campus before, so we walked around campus a bit and saw where Nick works. It’s a very pretty campus and Nick … Continue reading

So, I was hungry at lunch time and decided to take a walk to Jimmy John’s to grab a #4; well on my way to JJ’s I came across this spontaneous “store” that just showed up in Red Square sometime today. It’s The Honest Store and it sells Honest Tea. It turns out for $1 you … Continue reading
