Seattle...you're my kind of town!

In November, I was elected to the executive board of my professionals organization. January is our 1st meeting at the location of our next annual conference. It's a busy weekend of meetings, but we managed to find a few hours for my favorite past times..food, folks, and fun!
James and Desi are a couple of my favorite people on the planet. James works at BYU Graduate Studies and Desi at SLCC. They are so much fun! So kind! So great to hangout with!
Here we are before we take off for Seattle, the 3 amigos. The 2nd picture is me and Desi on the way back to Salt Lake. Where is James, you ask? Oh yeah, he got "bumped" up to 1st class. He didn't even get me extra cookies! The bum! Just kidding, James. His SkyMiles status got us lots of perks, so we won't complain. Now if only I could get those miles.
There were a lot of homeless on the streets of Seattle.
Sadly, they all seemed to have Tourette's. Language, people!
They were creative homeless, I'll give them that.
Here is an abandoned sign advertising Kissing Lessons. haha! So funny!


Our dear friend, Dannette, lives in Seattle and wanted to show us some of the sites.
We had to get up pretty early, "Whose idea was this!?!" (said James), but it was worth it.
She took us out to her neighborhood in Eastlake. She is an absolute DELIGHT to be with. I adore her to the moon. On and the breakfast was awesome. Highly recommend and I will be visiting this place in November.



We didn't make it to the side of Seattle that has the space needle. Not that Desi would have gone up with us if we had. So this will have to suffice for now. We'll see how it goes in November. :)
