Time for some catch up....

...blame it on Clay's presence if you must, but blogging when he's here often pales in comparison to venturing off for new city exploits and discoveries (plus, all the more to blog about later, right?). So first and foremost, I think I downplayed his arrival due to my ill-timed migraine...It was like Christmas Morning!!!! Clay was so great calling and drilling me the night before to find out anything and everything I wanted him to bring...so $50 in excess baggage weight and a 5.5 hour flight later, presies galore! Not only did he bring me the purses, dvds, cds, and clothes I had been missing - but he surprised me with my TIVO!!!!!!!!!!! The only bad part was making sure I didn't pay the tivo more time and attention than Clay. ;)

So over the 10 days that he was here (Clay, not TiVo) we had a great time to say the least. I already filled you in on our two weekend trips but there were lots of weekdays in between as well. Overall we balanced Seattle sightseeing with time spent relaxing at the apartment (read: lazy time on the couch....ahhhhhh my tivo remote back in it's rightful place with clay at my side...perhaps home really is wherever you make it....). All the while, things somehow continued to go on in Seattle - case in point - the opening of Boating Season!

I'm new to the whole world of boating so I'm just beginning to learn of their traditions including the opening day boat parade, the "logjam" which from what I can tell is a big log thingy where they all line up on (anchor to maybe?) a couple days in advance in order to "get a good spot on the logjam before they all fill up", and the cruises that fill the bay each thurs-sunday.

So little time, so much to learn! Now if we can either score some friends with a boat out here or convince DJ, Courtney, and baby Layfield to move west then we'll be set!
