Snowstorm in Seattle!
January 20, 2012 | Category: Cars, Cities, Seattle, Travel, Trees, Washington | Leave a Comment
The past few days here in Seattle, after an unseasonably warm winter, we finally got slammed with an awesome snowstorm!!! 
Schools were cancelled for the rest of the week, very few people actually went to work, and Seattle practically shut down.
and it was the most fun I’ve had in ages!

Last Day in Sedona

Rental car in front of Bell Rock at sunrise
For our last day in Sedona, I wanted to get up early and shoot a sunrise. Since our hotel, Bell Rock Inn, was literally a minute or two drive away from Bell Rock, this was the natural choice. 
Shooting the sunrise here was a great start for the last day in this beautiful location…

Aliens in Sedona on 11-11-11 (Photo shot by and blue sky added in by Julie, aliens photoshopped in by Ariel.)
Yesterday when we went to Shaman’s Cave, the original plan was to visit all of the vortexes in Sedona and choose which one to be at on 11:11 on 11/11/11, but that hike turned out to be WAY more than we had initially anticipated. Since there’s really only a few vortexes in Sedona, we figured it would be easy enough to just go check them out in the morning, feel our way around, and then decide which one we wanted to be at at 11:11am. Time to go check out some vortexes!

Shaman's Cave
So now day 2 in Sedona, or perhaps day 1 if you wanna call it that. It’s Thursday the 10th of November. We decide to go check out various different vortexes in the area, feel them out, and decide which one we’d want to be at for 11:11 on 11-11-11.

Going down to Sedona, AZ for 11/11/11

Matt, Julie, Anna, and Ariel in Sedona, AZ
So for 11-11-11, Matt, Julie, Anna, and I decided to go out to Sedona, Arizona. You know the whole 2012 thing? Well apparently it’s not just about that one day. From what I understand, Dec 21, 2012 is just a crossing of a threshold after a bunch of events and shifts leading up to that day. A sort of tipping of the scales. 11-11-11 is the first stage of the ascension. Cool.
In any event, Matt and Julie felt called to be in Sedona then. I had no idea what would happen, if anything, but felt like an amazingly fun idea, and Anna was excited and eager to go too! So we made our arrangements, packed our bags, hopped a plane, and off we went to Sedona for 11-11! What would happen? Who knows?
I’m not exactly sure how to summarize this trip, so I guess I’ll just do the usual thing, which includes sharing lots of pictures and telling you guys some of the more memorable stories. Seems to be a winning strategy. 
I started creating this as a singular post, but it turned out to be HUUUUUGE (like 60-something photos long huge), so this’ll be done day by day.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Live

You know, sometimes I’m just out doing my thing when it strikes me… Oh yeah! I’ve got a photoblog!
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Once a month the run a live showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in West Seattle, where they play the movie up on a screen like a traditional theater, but they have actors in costume acting out the movie at the same time.
This Halloween’s show was especially packed, with the audience all coming in dressed up as transvestites (thank you spell check), in skimpy shorts (Rocky), and in most anything imaginable. Just the audience members alone was worth it.
Then throughout the whole movie you have audience members shouting at the screen (funny comments relative to the movie), throwing rice in the air in the wedding scene, spraying water into the crowd when it’s raining, and even when they give a “toast,” throwing slices of bread into the crowd.
I love random fun stuff like this…

Trading in my ’96 Subaru for an all new 2012 Hyundai Sonata… A tribute to my cars
October 27, 2011 | Category: Cars, Driving, Washington | 1 Comment
At the beginning of this month, I finally traded in my much loved ’96 Subaru Outback for a brand new fully loaded 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited Turbo with nav!
The main reason for the trade was wanting a newer car with more power, better fuel economy, newer technology, GPS built-in, more safety features, and just something nicer.
In many ways, this new car helped me accomplish all this and more, and yet I so love my old Subaru… so I want to do a nice tribute post to my beloved cars.

Selling Cars at Hyundai of Seattle
September 19, 2011 | Category: Cars, Cities, Seattle, Washington | 2 Comments
Hyundai of Seattle
So one of the main reasons I haven’t been posting much recently is that I’ve been working quite a bit recently. After settling down a bit here in Seattle, I found myself a job selling cars. Have I never sold cars before? Nope. Did I ever think I would be selling cars? Nope. If you told me a few months ago that I’d be doing this, would I think that you’re completely crazy? Yep.
and yet this is proving to be one of the most rewarding, enjoyable, fulfilling, and satisfying thing I’ve ever done! Who knew?

Camping at Pete Lake
It’s been a while now since I’ve been camping. A while as in I haven’t been since sometime back in 2010…?
Well I decided to go hop back into it and spend some time outdoors. One of the awesome rangers at REI suggested Pete Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness east of Seattle in the Cascades as a beautiful place to go hike with only a few miles in. Since it’d been a while since I hiked, I didn’t want to push myself too hard the first time out. Looking at the map and seeing some gorgeous pictures online of lakes beyond Pete Lake, including Spectacle Lake and Glacier Lake, I decide to go for a longer haul and go scout further in.
After spending some time looking over routes, trail conditions, the weather, any tips about things I’d need for this area this time of year (bug spray!), and so on, I woke up nice and early, stopped back into REI last minute gear, and started heading east into the mountains.
