I LOVE LOVE LOVE seattle!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lately I have been hanging out with my favorite coworker, Roxy!! One day we were talking about taking a road trip, because I have never been on one with just a friend, and we made it happen a week later. We both did not have to work and had nothing else to do so we went to Seattle. It was my first time experiencing Seattle like a real person would, not just China town and nothing else!! I had sooooo much fun!!!
The ride was interesting. I drove to Ellensburg and she drove over the pass and through Seattle. We stayed at our friend's house, Sierra. The first night we went to the Cheesecake factory and OMG... was it delicious or what!! Then we explored the Seattle area and got in pretty late. The next day we went to Pike's Market, Deluxe, had some amazing gelatto, took a nap (and I was catapulted out of bed by Miss Roxy) and then met up with a former coworker, Carolyn. We had some amazing pizza with her and decided to go to H&M.... Well there was game day traffic and we were directed all sorts of different directions. In the end we decided to abort the H&M mission and go back. Well in order to go back we had to go up this steep, steep, steep hill. It was steeper than a 45* angle. No joke. I said "my car might not make it up this hill" so we tried it and guess what?!? A block from the top my car stops. We start burning rubber trying to get up the hill and started freaking out. More curse words were thrown out in a matter of minutes than in a day. We had no option but to reverse it down this steep hill....with a line of traffic going down one way and houses on the other side. Did I say that it was a very narrow street?!?! Yea...and we went over the curb but there was no way we could go forward to correct the car so we just had to go for it. And as we were going downhill a car goes up.... I am in the back yelling "just keep going, go!!" We backed into a driveway and waited to go downhill. Our car wasn't the only one that couldn't make it because a much smaller car had the same issue.Apparently the oils had surfaced making the roads more slick than normal. Now it is comical, but then it was scary beyond measure and now we won't even go up a small hill... My car's name is lucifer now haha.
After our fiasco with the beast of a hill, we went SALSA dancing. And I fell in love with it. I want to salsa all the time now! I learned so much and was out on the floor more than Sierra.
