Poolside...

 

Mentally I'm still sitting poolside in sunny and warm Lake Tahoe.  Physically, I'm sitting desk side in chilly and overcast Seattle.

Due to it being smack-dab-in-the-middle-of-the-week, 4th of July created a perfect excuse to stay in town and just explore Seattle.

After finaling getting out of bed at noon (yeah I'm pretty impressed with myself, too) my roommate and I embarked on a journey to a favorite cafe nearby.  On the way I stopped to snap a few shots of the beautiful views, a favorite intersection, low hanging fruit, and, of course, my festive sandals.

After sufficient caffeine intake we headed home, decided to embark on an adventure to see the latest and greatest Seattle landmark, called up Sarah, and began journeying...

We meandered the streets and through the market...

And finally we arrived!

Of course before riding the giant beast we had to wait in line...

An hour later (and $13 poorer) we boarded.  Once my initial screams of terror subsided and I settled in to the experience of being unnaturally high up and surrounded by glass, I do have to admit it was a pretty enjoyable way to spend 12-15 minutes of my Independence Day.

The perfect adventure was, of course, wrapped up with cocktails, soaking in the sun, and people watching... all at once!

Hope everyone had an equally splendid mid-week break!  One more day and then it's time for another weekend!  H-u-z-z-a-h.

Since I've Been Gone...

I had wanted to post a gazillion pictures from my choir concerts over the weekends.  The only thing prohibiting me from doing that is the fact that I did not take a gazillion pictures.  I took about 4.  And what's worse, they're not even of choir related things despite the fact that I spent the majority of my weekend singing, preparing to sing, or hanging out with people I sing with.

So what I have for you instead is an "instagramic" glimpse of the sometimes sunny but mainly gloomy month that was my June AND a playlist inspired by all the songs we (The Seattle Ladies Choir) performed over the weekend.
