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.

snoqualmie falls

this past sunday while i was sitting around the house being lazy. i realized that i shouldn't do that so kyle and i (if you forgot or don't know, my roommate's name is also kyle) decided to go check out snoqualmie falls. its maybe about 25 minutes away, east on 90. which i still find weird that if i just kept going would take me all the way back to boston. but anyways it was beautiful. theres a nice lookout area at the top and also a trail you can take down to see it from the bottom area. of course their "trail" only goes so far but if you nevermind the signs its real easy to hop over the ledge and walk up to the base pool of the waterfall. here is some pics to check out.
