Seattle Trippin'

Earlier this week, Ang and I ventured northward to Seattle with our friends Tom and Tara and their daughter, Jessie. Tom recently finished law school and decided that Seattle was the magical place for him to unwind. We stayed in a hotel downtown and were able to explore most of the city on foot. We went to the Space Needle, the Experience Music Project, Pike Place, Westlake Center, the aquarium, and went on a bay cruise.
My favorite place was the Experience Music Project, which features (among a variety of artifacts) some original guitars played (and smashed and burned on stage) by Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana's demo tapes and instruments, and a pretty nifty collage of guitars. They even had a hands-on music area where you could play all sorts of instruments, have jam sessions in music studios, and even rock the turntables! Here are some pics from the trip.




We had a most triumphant time! (yes, that was a Bill & Ted reference)
