Jordan Comes to Seattle!

Little brother came to Seattle this past week! Kristen's older sister was getting married this weekend in Seattle, so Jordan was coming up with the Freels' for that, but came up a couple days early to hang out with me! The first day was a little overcast and sprinkly so we wandered around the city for a little bit then did some relaxing at the apartment before meeting up with Ryan for a fabulous dinner of crepes!
Wednesday was supposed to be a pretty nice and sunny day, so we planned a hike just outside of Seattle. It's so nice being able to drive for less than an hour and be out in the middle of nowhere! We took Ben (the puppy) with us too for our 8 mile trek through the woods and up a mountain. He did great climbing all over everything and jumping through the streams! It turned out to be a really nice day too with lots of sunshine peaking through the trees. 


Thursday we went to the museum of flight, which I hadn't been to yet. It was pretty intense and had a ton of small planes in the actual museum as well as flight simulators. Across from the indoor part of the museum, there was also a large parking lot that had the larger planes that you could tour. They had a Concorde (fastest passenger plane ever) as well as an Air Force One! It was a retired one obviously, so it would be awesome to see what the newer more high tech one looks like now.
The rest of the week Jordan had a lot of wedding related events to attend. Ryan and I met up with them a few times for happy hours and bar nights. I even got to see one of my old Rural Studio  classmates! She was a friend of Katie's back in school as well so was in town for the wedding as well. It was super random seeing her again in Seattle. Can't wait for my next visitor (Kimberly's coming in October!). Also can't wait for next weekend for Leigha and Nino's Seattle wedding!!! YAY!
