Travel home

Was a rebel once again and swiped some extra food for lunch from the buffet breakfast at the hotel! I had to get a taxi because the shuttle service was unavailable on Sundays. The dude dropped me off at the wrong terminal. Shame on him. I had to juggle my luggage and hop on the airport shuttle to the correct terminal-- 4. I ran into a girl who was also studying abroad in Spain and was on her way home. She also had not traveled home alone before, so we ran through the airport together.

Once I was on the plane I crashed. Only for about four hours though. I woke up to see that "27 Dresses" was playing. That perked me up a bit and I stayed awake for the rest of that flight. That and the fact they served me PIZZA! Ok, it wasn't the best... but I definitely was happy to see some Americanized food!

My layover in Dallas consisted of going through customs, being randomly selected to have my goods pawed through, going through security, calling Jacob / the padres to tell them I'm alive and getting on the plane.

I have no idea what happened on my flight to Seattle -- I was asleep. Landed in Seattle about 10:15 PM. Some super good looking wannabe limo driver picked me up!

We headed to the hotel Parker works at. I caught Jake up on all the adventures I had and showed him all my super sweet souveniers.

Aug 3:

This morn we made some mean waffles at the buffet breakfast at the hotel. Finally my food had some flavor. My tastes buds were going nuts.

After we checked out we headed over to Gasworks Park. It was pretty spectacular. Such a gorgeous day. Neither of us have been there. There were tons of kids getting their senior pictures. So we tooks some shots of each other. We're pretty much amazing.

Then we headed over to the water front and had lunch at Ivar's. There they love the seagulls so we made many new friends. All of them are named Fred or Fred's cousin.

Headed up to Pike's Place and got mom a belated birthday boquet of flowers. Then I drove to Seatac and pressed the eject button and Jake flew out of the car. He had a 3:15 pm flight to Minnesota.

Once I got home I backed in and saw this amazing sign made by my brother and mother.
