Last weekend was our band trip to Seattle. I had a lot of fun, more than I imagined. First, we visited the Washington State History Museum. It was really boring and wasn’t that great. The sad thing about it was that my friend, Nat, was accused of stealing in the shop. All she did was pull out and put back her electronic dictionary after looking up a word (she’s Japanese). The security guard asked her “Did you know it was wrong to steal?” and then accused her. He didn’t even apologize! She cried =(
Next, we went to the Musuem of Glass. It was so pretty! Then we headed to the Seattle Center for lunch. Afterwards, we went to the Experience Music Project (EMP). That was really fun! There we played around some instruments, did a virtual band performance that we got a poster of, and checked out the sci-fi museum. From there, we headed to the Space Needle. I haven’t been there for a long time, if at all. It was so windy! The view was awesome.
Then it was time for dinner! We ate the Old Spagehtti Factory. Now that we were all full, we rode down to our hotel. There was a pool and hot tub, so some of us went. I just soaked my feet since I didn’t bring a bathing suit. Once I went back to my room, I talked to my boyfriend on the phone. It was our one year anniversary and he wasn’t there with us =(
The next day (Saturday), after breakfast, we went to the Future of Flight Museum and saw where the airplanes were built together. I got a Boeng pen too! It’s soo cool =) We had lunch at Pike Place Market. Dang it was crowded! I asked my sister if we could have lunch together since she lives in Seattle. Man, it was crazy trying to figure that out. We managed and it was nice to see her again.
Lunch is over, so we head back to the Seattle Center. There, we were going to perform. Yeah… our performance sucked! We were out of tune, especially the flutes. I thought the concert band would be good because they had the music a lot longer than us, the symphonic band. I felt really embarrassed. The only good thing about going was that we saw Sanjaya from American Idol before we performed. We got a group picture of those who gathered to see him. Click here for the pic. Yeah it’s pretty big, since the guy on the right of Sanjaya wanted the biggest version.
At about 5 pm, we left Seattle and went back home. It was only a 2 hour ride, so I went up to Thor’s house to see his sister’s kitties. Aww, they were so cute! Then my boyfriend came over. We then left the house, had something to eat and went to watch Spider-Man 3. This was his thing for our anniversary. For me, I gave him: Dr. Pepper, Skittles, (his favorites) and a Fossil sports watch.
