They may take our luggage but they will never take ... OUR VACATION!




Sorry for the abrupt halt in blog entries.
Within 30 minutes of arriving in San Fran we stopped to get some last minute camping supplies 
and had everything stolen from our car
our clothes
 shoes
 camping gear
 and computer.

No worries though- the vacation continued on.
I’ll post the rest of our trip after I’m done playing catch up at work today.

Ok
so we were robbed.
Decided that we still wanted this vacation so in 1.5 hours we purchased all of our camping gear and enough clothes to get us through camping for 2 days.

One major problem was that it was FREEZING and stores are only carrying summer clothes. We ended up stopping by a camp store that had these hippie ponchos that Abbie ended up having to wear for the rest of the vacation since he couldn't find any men's jackets to take its place.

Here is the drive to Big Sur

I wish my camera could pick up just how beautiful it really was.

Our campsite:



The ponchos

Redwoods:



Dinner:

It rained almost the whole day

So we found other stuff to do



Wildlife

This SLUG is bananas B.A.N.A.N.A.S

Loved, loved, loved Big Sur and it was great to get away and be reminded that stuff is just stuff.



More to come tomorrow!

Today's Eats:
bfast- 2 eggs, ww Arnold thin, OG applesauce
Snack- coffee and bisquotti
Lunch- brown rice sushi
Snack- granola bar, 5 strawberries and a banana

Space Needle


Gum Wall

Clam Chowder
The market




$5 flowers
Dinner at the Space Needle

Battle of the Bands- Hard Rock


Smells like Teen Spirit

Woke up this morning feeling great and ready for what Seattle has to offer!
I even managed to get in a 45 min cardio session at the hotel gym at 6:00am!
Since my body is still on EST this isn't a big deal
but it feels really good to be done with a workout by 7:00am.

Abbie and I found a great corner market that has healthy and cheap-ish food. For breakfast I had and English muffin with an egg, tomato and 1/2 cheese
and my very first Seattle coffee!

today's plans:
Taste of Seattle Tour
Dinner at the Spaceneedle
Battle of the Bands at the Hard Rock

Woot! Woot!

Grunge City

After 8 hours of flying

 


We've finally arrived in Seattle!
I am a really nervous flyer and was dreading the trip but thankfully there was little to no turbulence.
I did my best to stay awake as long as I could- but flying all day was too much.
Here's the amazing veiw from our room.
Today's Eats:

  • bfast- apple

  • Snack- Doritos snack pack on JetBlue

  • lunch- blackend talapia on 1/2 bun with tomato, 2 glasses of wine

  • Dinner- McDonalds- 2 cheese burgers, fries, 1 glass wine (after paying $60 for lunch at the airport we didn't want to spend money on dinner and needed something FAST)
