discovery park

on sunday i ended up going to discovery park which is a park right inside the city limits of seattle, pretty crazy to think that this place exists right in a major city. probably why i love this place so much so far. discovery park is a fairly large park with trails, a military base, and a beach area in northern seattle. hiked around there for a while but spent most the time chillin on the beach. it was pretty fun and got to see some pretty cool stuff. 

more importantly though, all day i was just dreaming about the mac n cheese i was going to get after doing my grocery shopping at pike place. by the time i got there, they were completely sold out :(

so that sucked but i did get my grocery shopping done and then headed home where i made some bomb pasta that i got from pike so that slightly made up for missing out on the mac n cheese. i still dont know how im going to wait a whole nother week for it though. i dont know what im going to do when i leave here. i dont think i can live without it. it is honestly the best mac n cheese in the world and thats no exaggeration.

the brother visits

so this past weekend my brother, sarah (his gf), and their friend lindsey came to visit. needless to say. we had a fuckin great time. yes ricky, not just a great time but a fuckin great time. haha. my bro came in on thursday night while i was still real stressed out so we just chilled in and i went to bed. on friday ricky and sarah went skiing while i worked, yea thats fair. but it did rain on them so the skiing wasn't that great for them unfortunately. they picked me up from work, we checked out the microsoft store and visitor center, stopped home and then we headed out to dinner to the tap house grill. this place has 160 beers on tap. pretty sweet. we had dinner with lindsey's bro colin and their friend from home, another kyle, who now lives in seattle too so i'll prob be chillin with him again. we ended up all going to a bar called buckleys where we had a "few" drinks after which we headed to a place called dick's drive in. a great burger joint for drunk people, we grew furious once we waited in line, ordered, and then found out they didn't take cash. we assured them that we would never come back. after which we walked to the closest atm, got cash, and waited in line a mere 5 minutes later. colin probably had the comment of the night while we were eating, "gotta love having dick's in your mouth." haha thanks colin.  

saturday we went to see the famous fremont troll, then hit up pike place market, i introduced everyone to the amazing mac and cheese that is beecher's cheese, ricky and sarah bought a bunch of seafood to take home, we had lunch, and also picked up the paintings from dan. they came out real good, i was real happy with them. after that we went on a boat tour in the sound and got some sick views of the city and skyline. then we went on the adult version of the underground tour which is really just more talk about the sex, drugs, and corruption of early seattle but once again was pretty cool. then we went to check out the space needle and get some dinner and drinks. after a great time at the five point cafe we headed home.

the next day was pretty much just chillin and taking people to the airport. we did also check out snoqualmie falls which was nice to see again. and yea thats about it. pics coming next. peace.
