Seattle! Wedding plans! Cousin Bean!

In Seattle for a quick girl's trip and to help my cousin pick out wedding gowns and deal with other celebration minutiae. Mom decided to join us, so hanging in a comparatively lush hotel room instead of couch surfing.  Sweet!  Thanks mom!

Flights in were fine, although a bit crowded as I was wedged in middle seats on both legs of the trip.  Note to fellow travelers - please don't eat a sandwich with raw onions on it right at take off, then fall asleep with your mouth open facing the person stuck in the middle of the row.  Not good manners, ok?  Took every ounce of self restraint to not try and pitch mini Altoids into her mouth.

Arrived and settled in, only to realize I had not eaten dinner.  Quick jaunt to the bar/restaurant in our hotel.  Ate not much, but not super healthy bar food.  So committed to working out first thing this morning.

Started the day with Bean coming over to share the workout.  Quick walk, stair steps, jumping jacks, leg lifts and back home through our Capitol Hill neighborhood, (funny name huh?).  About an hour start to finish.  Beautiful way to start the day.  Weather here is GOR-GE OUS!

So today is a couple quick conference calls at work, then off to wedding dress shopping and brainstorming!  We may even have some cake tasting so might have to fit in another work out tonight.  Oy.

Dress pictures to follow.  So excited to see my cousin - she is like a sister to me.

  1. BWAHAHAHAHA to the flight.. I would've loved to see you chuck a breath mint in her mouth... flashbacks of Daredevil where he kills the old lady with a peanut down the throat.

  2. Oooh, I love weddings! I've never gone dress shopping with someone else. That will be so fun! I can't wait to see the dresses. When is the big day? Are they getting married in Seattle?
