Last weekend Seattle hosted the Annual AAO Conference (American Association of Orthodontists). I like to tag along to the conferences when they are held in neat cities and because Morris's father is an orthodontist we usually get to spend some time with his parents as well. We traveled down with our good friends the Lee's and spent some time exploring together. We had such a great time in Seattle and we managed to avoid rain until our last day in town when it dumped on us. Morris and I spent our first night in town at Safeco Field where we saw the M's defeated by the Padres (8-1), at least we had a very entertaining ride to the ballpark provided by the Seattle finest on city bus #9. We decided a cab would be the a better form of transportation given the time of night. Earlier that day Morris and I took a city tour of Seattle where we explored the Space Needle, the beautiful University of Washington campus, the Chittenden Locks, and wonderful views of Peugeot Sound. Other highlights of the trip included a visit to the Seattle Central Library, the Seattle Art Museum, and Pike Place Market. We also managed to squeeze in a quick visit with our friends from UCLA the Olsen's who are now attending UW. It was so fun to see them and there cute little boys. We really enjoyed our time in Seattle, I loved how alive the art community is in Seattle. I wish we had more time to enjoy more museums and more galleries in this wonderful city.

I want to go to Seattle now! Sounds like so much fun. I have not been there in about 12 years but I always think I would not mind living there.
That sounds like so much fun! I love Seattle. It is so beautiful and so many great things to do. I love your totem pole picture, by the way!
We are so jealous...we love Seattle. I knew Jake should have gone Ortho. Dumb root canals! :)
I love Pike's Place. I hope you got to see the best part of Seattle, the nine-story Nordstrom downtown.
Ashley,
