After breakfast by the lake we checked out of our cottage and headed north towards Seattle. While we had nothing we really wanted to see, we intended to cruise slowly up and sight see along the way. A combination of the weather still being overcast, not really seeing anything that sounded too interesting and the anticipation of getting to Seattle to see our great mates, Juzzy and Kristy, meant we pretty much drove straight there.
After unloading the car and finding a park in the busy uni district, it was time for a beer! When Kristy arrived home from work the boys took charge of dinner, and walked down to a local Thai restaurant and served it to the ladies.
We still had the car as we had arranged to spend the weekend out of town with Juzzy and Kristy, at either San Juan Islands or Leavenworth Village. Sadly, Kristy was working on the weekend so this did not eventuate. Instead on saturday afternoon we took a short drive to a waterfall and a couple of wineries.
Dinner was in the local Irish pub (for old times sake, and they have AFL on TV). The pub soon got pretty noisy with a band, so the girls headed home for a movie. The boys stayed for a bit longer (3 quarters), before moving to Earls Bar for more beers and very cheap cocktails. As the night progressed into the morning we made some new friends and (somehow) ended up at a college graduation party. Arriving home a bit after 3am, Christine was getting a bit worried, since all the bars in seattle close at 2am, but we had had a good time!
Sunday seemed like a great day to lay about and not do much! The girls went and did some shopping and then returned the hire car. All in all we were only just short of doing 3000 miles.
