PlayLIZt: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

It's time. The PlayLIZt is back with a song I found on So You Think You Can Dance. Every season, I find a handful of great music from the show. This season was no different. I've heard the original version of this song a million times, or maybe closer to 20 or 30 times, but this version is completely different and beautiful as ever. I've added all of the songs on the PlayLIZt to a separate page, so it's easier to find old songs and new ones. Enjoy!

Just the Two of Us

Since Will and I got married just less than 2 years ago, we have never gone on a vacation just the two of us. And Will being in school two nights a week, hasn't exactly made things easy. However, Will had a break in August, so we thought we'd find a place to go.

Why Seattle? No specific reason except we've both always wanted to go there. I think part of my fascination with the city comes from all the movies and TV shows that take place there...maybe.:-)

Day 1
We drove to Yakima, Washington (10 hours) to visit my Abuelita (grandma) Patino who passed away when I was 9 from colon cancer. I hadn't been back to visit since then. It was really nice to visit her.










Day 2
We drove to SeaTac, Washington where we stayed while visiting Seattle because the hotel prices in Seattle are ridiculous.










Day 3
We bought a city pass in Seattle, which gave us access to six main attractions in Seattle. On Monday, we went right into visiting all of them--Argosy Harbor Tour, Seattle Aquarium, had some fish and chips, and of course we couldn't go to Seattle without seeing a Mariner's game.

  
 

 

Day 4
This day, we tackled the rest of the sites to see in Seattle--Woodland Park Zoo, the Space Needle, the Pacific Science Center, the EMP Museum.

 

 

Day 5
We went to Cannon Beach, Oregon to see Haystack Park. It was one of the most amazing, beautiful places we have ever seen. We both agreed that we had to come back.

Day 6
We decided we would visit my parents on our way back. No pictures of Fallon, but let's just say there's a lot of desert and alfalfa.

We had an amazing trip! A much needed one. But we're excited to be back in our own house and our own bed.
