I know I have been slack over the last week in updating, but in my defence I have been SUPER busy.  I spent all of last week working on OshKosh stuff and making sure that the AA stuff was good to go (which it now all is) and then spent Friday, Saturday & Sunday getting to play tour guide to an old work friend from back home in Australia.

Fiona used to work with me at Sunlover, back in the day, and came to visit me up here for the weekend.  So we did the usual touristy things and I got to spend some time showing off just what I love about this city.  It was a JAM packed weekend but when you don’t have much time, that’s how it goes right?  We did the usual downtown stuff with Pikes, Starbucks, Seattle Center and a few others, but we also did some other stuff.

We hit up the Columbia Center yesterday and it has been refurbished and looks amazing now and has the full 360 degree views that you couldn’t get before (though you only walk 320 degrees as the windows are set in a certain way so that you can see the full time).  The new layout and fit out was a total surprise, but my charm worked again and I got us a student discount.  If you want a cheaper alternative to the Space Needle, Columbia is it, but in my opinion, its WAY better than the space needle.

We also hit up the baseball yesterday afternoon and holy crap was it hot!  We were sitting in the direct sunlight and even with copious amounts of sunscreen, pretty sure I managed to get myself a little burnt.  Sitting in the “Kings Court” was pretty cool and it was kind of like the big fan area for the Mariners and was a little bit rowdy, compared to a very normal crowd that just sit there and do nothing.  The game was good and the Mariners did win.. so that was a bonus.

On Saturday we hit up the Boeing Factory and Fiona was lucky enough to see a Qatar 787 deliver just as we finished, which was awesome and then that night I took her down to Kirkland for a Sunset over the lake the the view was just stunning.

Filling the weekend was good, it was busy, hopefully I can catch up on some sleep this week (doubtful though).
