  3. I was just in Seattle a few weeks ago and saw the Andy Warhol Wall! I wanted to take the photo booth pictures, but I was with my mom and she didn't want to... but I wish I had done it anyway.

  4. If you come to Seattle we'd love to have you join us for tidepooling.

    Where are you going to find fireflies? I thought they didn't come this side of the Rockies.

    As always, you are the queen of lists.

  5. thanks, friends!

    whollyafool, if you can find them, public fountains are mostly awesome.

    emme, dying to go!

    char, ME TOO.

    lecia, we'd *love* to go tidepooling with you! I'll keep you posted. not sure when this quick road trip is going to happen-- probably sometime in the next three weeks or the end of august. as for the fireflies, we're hoping to find (and catch) some while we're visiting my parents in illinois. found tons while we were visiting last year and ooooooh, so magic. one of the many things I miss about living in the midwest/east coast.

  8. We made sno cones with homemade strawberry/blueberry syrup. And that syrup was mighty fine on pancakes and ice cream too!

    Dioramas...sigh. So awesome.
