Two lovely ladies who were once college roomies together at the Crack House (the house has a crack--what were you thinking?!) needed to get away to cooler weather and to catch up on life. So, they got on planes and took two separate routes.
They passed over the Rocky Mountains.
They finally landed, and quickly started absorbing Seattle.
They found Seattle to be a place with lots of cool art, so they took lots of pics.
They journeyed along the pier and spotted sailboats.
They located the first Starbucks and bought some souvenirs.
The next day, they spotted a line at the REAL first Starbucks...apparently there is a decoy first Starbucks.
The ladies made sure that they got caffeinated here as well.
They viewed cups from around the world which had been gifts from customers.
Throughout the long weekend, the ladies debated the colors of seagulls. They are waiting to hear back answers from a certified seagull expert.
The ladies also spent some time as explorers of the shore searching for starfish, shells, rocks, and urchins.
The views from their hotel rooftop were amazing.
The sunrise was even worth an early morning wake-up.
One of the coolest blessings was scoring free U2 tickets. After donating to Soles4Souls and a 1.5 hour wait at Hard Rock Cafe, a pair of free tickets were bestowed upon the deserving ladies. They will remember this concert forever and perhaps change the details so in their memories Bono would have mentioned them by name from the stage.
The ladies would like to thank the follow for making their trip so special:
Jimmy and Jen Bradbury (why didn't I get your picture???)
Indian food
Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr.
Lenny Kravitz
Family airport pick-ups/drop-offs -- especially the 3 a.m. team
Continental and Southwest Airlines
Starbucks (the 1st and 2nd)
The fish market throwers
Honeybees
The Museum dude that gave us free tickets to SAM
1st Ave.
Safeway
Sardines & tuna
Ritz crackers
Ivar's
The Seattle Aquarium
Nick Cave
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
Macy's
Soles4Souls
Hard Rock Cafe
Qwest Field
The kind strangers waiting with us in line
The street sweepers who didn't know U2
...and finally, all the puppies of Seattle

Beth of Kentucky,
I hath inquired of the most wise one who knoweth the gulls of the sea and he hath spoken thus unto me:
thy birds of brown are juvenile and lo thy birds of grey are thy adults and thy birds of pink should not have landed in thine own cotton candy. Let it be so.
