On Saturday, we decided to celebrate America by going to the International District. We wandered through grocery stores and natural medicine shops apparently, dried squid is a great bar food. After some awesome Chinese food, we traveled to the Experience Music Project and Sci-Fi Museums. In the evening, we had a relaxed night of eating pizza, chips and salsa, and ice cream (not combined) and watching fireworks in a park.
After brunch on Sunday, we headed home. One car ran into some trouble on the road, but other than that, our trip was all smooth sailing (Washington hasn't had many Key Votes on transportation issues this year, but check out the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project). Thankfully, we caught up on some sleep during the drive back Seattle was a whirlwind adventure, well worth the long journey and sleep deprivation.
