I got to Pike’s Place Market at least decently early enough that the tourist crowds hadn’t started forming yet. I wandered a bit before spotting the original Starbucks and starting out my morning with a tall mocha. I then wandered some more until I figured out which stand was the one that threw fish around. …
Monday, June 29, 2009 Exhausting day! I’m now staying with my friend Scott in Seattle and so this morning I took the bus with him over to University of Washington where he works/is in grad school. I toured around a bit while he worked and saw the fountain, red square, a Washington statue, the quad, …
Sunday, June 28, 2009 Woke up in Prince George. Headed home. And by home I mean the U.S., but not home home. Saw more awesome sites on our Canadian Road Trip, such as a town called Williams Lake that was having their annual stampede! We drove and drove and drove some more until …
Have you seen this truck? ’cause it’s awesome. “Truck Norris” truck, spotted outside of an A&W at 4086 Hwy 16, Smithers, BC, Canada on June 27, 2009

Friday, June 26, 2009 Day three of my vacation consisted of driving. A whole lot of driving. Luckily I wasn’t the one behind the wheel this time and I learned that it is a whole lot easier (and perhaps a whole lot safer) to take video and photos while a passenger… We woke …
The first stop of our second day in Seattle was the Sci-Fi Museum in Seattle Center. It was pretty cool but the best part was the special exhibit on the work of Jim Henson. We didn’t have time then to go to the second half of the museum: EMP, but hand stamps could be used …
It was time to head off on my Seattle vacation! My alarm didn’t go off but luckily I was staying at my parents’ place so they could drive me to the airport and so my dad woke me up. It was 2:15am so I really only got 3 hours of sleep. In the shower I …
A few weekends ago I took off for a road trip around Missouri! It was an awesome time and we saw a LOT! Here’s a video montage of a bunch of the crazy stops…The World’s Largest Fork! The World’s Largest Rocking Chair! The World’s Largest Pecan! And much much more! And of course there was …
