No, I haven’t fallen off the planet; I’ve just been on the other side of it for a while

Two weeks ago I hopped a plane to Washington State to visit friends and family. The Puyallup Fair is a long-standing tradition for one of my friends and me, so we made the trek down on the second to last day of its 2009 run. My mom and a couple of her friends, plus two of my aunts also came – quite the girl trip!

One of my favorites in this hang-glider ride – whee! Unfortunately, it seems like the ride you get for your 5 tickets gets shorter every year…

The next day, my mom and I headed to the Seahawks game. We rode the new shuttle operated by Starline Luxury Coaches – it leaves from the Eastgate Park and Ride and drops off a short walk from Qwest Field. It is definitely the way to go!

I knew once the game started I would be too involved to snap any pictures, so I got this video of them charging out of the tunnel and a shot of Blue Thunder performing before the game. Even though we didn’t end up winning, it was a great game. (But I’m very relieved to have Hasselbeck back this week!)
