Spring Break!

  • Mar. 20th, 2007 at 12:27 PM
Mom and I went to Seattle again for my Spring break, it was LOTS of fun!
01.
We left on Wednesday morning and stopped to have lunch with my mom's aunt and uncle about half way to Seattle. This is their precious dog, Sammy. He was just so excited to see us.


We got to Seattle around dinner time and all of us went out to eat at the food court. I got that wonderful soup again, but wasn't really in the mood to take pictures. Driving for over five hours does that to you.

02.
You know that Santa I wrote about earlier? On Thursday Mom and I went shopping and we went back to that store...We bought it this time. :D The rest of the day we went to a few other stores, had lunch with dad, and that evening, Jamie took me to "game night" at his work. It was fun and I could tell that Jamie fit in perfectly, everyone was pretty nerdy. :p

03.
On Friday, Mom picked me up in the afternoon and we took the dogs on a walk in this park. The REALLY enjoyed themselves. This was my mom's birthday!

04.
Lily: Leo, I love you.
Leo: Yah, okay.

05.
For lunch, Mom took me to this Japanese restaurant/bakery called "The Bakery" where I got bubble tea and some pineapple bread! Yum. We went shopping in a few more stores then it was time for Mom's birthday dinner.

06.
While walking to get cash, I found this crazy mural :D

07.
We went to Todai, a Japanese buffet I've written about before. Mom got a free meal because of her birthday :D

08.
(This animation is backwards, haha, Jamie wasn't really pulling food out of his mouth). I think that Jamie thinks I'm annoying.

09.
PINEAPPLE.

10.
Mmm...dessert.

11.
Card Jamie got mom. Right after dinner, Mom, Dad, and I took off for Vancouver. We were staying in a hotel that night and going to Portland in the morning!

12.
Teeth brushing on Saint Patrick's Day!

13.
We went to Powell's Bookstore. MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER. I found this completely badass book...it's The Hobbit in graphic novel form!

14.
We spent forever in there. This was when Mom and I found the puppet stand.

Leaving Powell's. I'm not going to tell you how much we spent >.< I got 12 books :D

17.
Theennnn we went to Voodoo Doughnut. Pretty much freaking amazing. It was a hole in the wall selling the best donuts on the planet.

18.
See?

19..
MANGO TANGO. Best donut I've ever eaten in my entire life.

20.
Dad enjoyed the donuts as well.

21..
YUUUMMM.

22.
Then we got back in the car and drove back to Seattle, but not before stopping at Fry's to pick up my graduation present: a laptop for college! :D

23.
We went to a Mexican restaurant with Jamie that evening....later while playing on Jamie's computer, I had another donut. ;)

24.
The next day Mom and I drove home. These are my "spoils of vacation"

25.
Santa!

26.
See that bikini there? Cost $11! (Was originally $50!)

27.
PANDA BRACELET. :D

28.
Chair for playing video games in (was only $15!)

29.
Dmitri was so glad to have me home. :D

Oooh, my birthday is next week! Thanks for the reminder about Todai!

I grew up in Portland so I love that place. Powells is definitely the best bookstore ever in the history of the universe.

Voodoo doughnut didn't exist when I lived there though. I found out about the place when I watched the episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations where he went to Portland. I keep forgetting to go there when I visit Portland.

Happy early birthday! Voodoo Doughnut is really worth checking out. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Gah, I love love donuts so much! But I can understand why some people don't like them...but STILL, I'm not sure if anyone could dislike Voodoo Doughnut!

WAH, I've never had a donut! :P
I also wish my parents would buy me so many things when we go to trips together. The best I can hope for is ice-cream!
Dmitri looks like such a lovely cuddlewhore ^ ^

Yes, I get a lot of things, but most of them are really super cheap because I'm thrifty :D

Dmitri is a lovely cuddlewhore ^.^

Oh my god I feel like a creep commenting on a stranger's livejournal, but I live in Seattle (hi, I'm a 20 year old named Monique who goes to the University of Washington) and I have never seen that donut place. WHERE IS IT!!!?

Sorry I found you through [info]adayinmylife and your posts were so fun to read with interesting photographs that I found myself pretty enthralled.

You also have a natural aptitude for video making. It's not so much that you take unique videos--there's so many pretty girls doing vblogs it's ridiculous--it's that your actual footage and camera angles are fascinating with good use of music. While I wasn't too interested in your first one because it was just a Vlog, the one you did for prom showed really slick effects without overdoing it and the Boomshot footage was great. Definitely look into messing more with that in the future, you have the eye.
