A long time coming

Ok, so realistically no one is reading this anymore, but the story of our trip cannot go unfinished. On my last full day in Seattle, I had some more fantastic food and saw some more things that I am sure I cannot find anywhere else in the country.

After we woke up we spent about 2 hours playing Mario Kart, but to no avail. We accomplished pretty much nothing and after more frustration than I ever wanted Chappy to experience, we decided to move on. We went to lunch at Uptown China, which is a very good chinese restaurant with a fantastic lunch special. After that, we finally went to see the space needle! It was a gorgeous day, and though "the mountains weren't out," the city was beautiful. Chappy and her mom spent a long time trying to orient me with where everything was but let me tell you, there are many parts of Seattle, and I still probably have no clue. I also found it funny that on the way up they said the elevator ride was 82 seconds and on the way down they said it was "the same as the way up...41 seconds." hmmmmmm, I'm not a math major (o wait, yes I am), but those are not the same numbers. Also in Seattle center, was this really cool fountain that we went and sat around by. We watched the high school kids think they were really cool and take their shirts off and run through it. One kid thought he was really cool and took his pants off to reveal his tightie whities. He took it too far.

When we got back to the house, we had some time before dinner, so Chap and I decided to exact our revenge on her mom in Mario Party. I lost again, but Chappy won, which is an acceptable defeat for my last game of MP. Mr. Chapman grilled some phenominal salmon. It was to die for. I'll never look at Atlantic salmon the same way ever again. It was the completion of my Seattle cuisine. After dinner, we had the most successful hour of Mario Kart ever, and beat all of the cups on 150, AND played all of the battle modes.

Hoping our luck would carry over to trivia, we headed to Kate's pub with Chappy's sister Katie, her friend, Jason, and Chappy's other sister (ish), Sarah. Trivia at this bar cost 5 bucks to play (we're not used to that up in Medford), and had a cool word games round and picture round. Then they ask 45 questions, and you swap answer sheets with the team next to you to correct them. Weird, right? But it was so fun! We finished with 114 points, in a tie for 3rd. The second place team (who won a pitcher...damn), had 115 points. wondering what our team name was? The One Hit Wonders, because that was the only time the 5 of us will be playing together at Kate's Pub. Sad Face.

Since it was my last night in Seattle, Chappy and I had a sleepover in her room and she even suggested putting Twilight on to fall asleep to (she's hooked!). It was a great end to my trip and it was a little sad to think about going home the next day.
