'Merica

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.
