Trip To The Mainland -- Aug 21 - 29, 2006 -- Part 2

Day 2: Going to Seattle to see the EMP (Experience Music Project), because I've never been down to the States before. And now I have! Woot!

m
Coming up to the border.
 
 
 
 
Making sure Shannon didn't bring any drugs to sell over in the States.
Every seemed bigger in the States. It was weird.
108... That's miles remember. So we still have quite a ways to go. About... 170 km?
 
So far it seems like a pretty nice drive.
Yes! Chuckanut! Too bad I didn't get a picture of a sign that says "Nooksack". Maybe next time.
 
 

Getting closer.

I love the speed limit there. It's like 110km/hr.

 

The water was green? What?!

Yay for Kincaide! ... Minus the "E".

 
26!! Sooo that's about 40 km?
 
Where's the bump?
For some reason, I really like this shot.
I think there's a road above us as well. It's weeiirrdd.
 
Exit to Seattle!
No, I don't want to choose love.
Jeez! I'm trying to escape FROM Victoria!
Random Doritos van.
Red lights with arrows. That's something I don't see very often.
The what college? Cornish? Huh?
They had kinda steep roads.
Ducks!
"Look! A bum!"
I see the Space Needle! Which means the EMP must be near!
 
Uhhh why is there a pink elephant?
More ducks?
There's the EMP!
Another duck?! What's wrong with this city?
 
What's that in the distance?
Here we are!
 
 
 
Apparently you're not allowed cameras there. But did that stop me? Uhhh sort of.
Yep, I'm "America's most exciting new personality".
I love that tower of guitars! And the occasional other instruments.
I need to steal me one of those signs/poster.
Same with the killer doughboy one.
Rocking out in a room.
 
What the duck?

Random thingers.

 

 
Hahaha I don't know why, but that makes me laugh every time I see it.
 
Watch out for the spider, McIvor!
Next time, I'll go up there.
 
That's pretty sweet seeing a helicopter on top of that building!
Random sculptures.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cherry?
I think someone's attracted to the T-800.
 
Yep.. That's where we were.
The EMP wasn't as good as I thought it'd be, but it was a good time killer I guess.
Wow, that's a pretty funny motto. Those crazy New Hampshire people.
Oh yeah, we also got tickets to see this wicked band.
 
 
 
 
 
This place was kinda cool.
 
 
Four random pillars?
 
And a random escalator.
We went to this place called Kyoto Teriyaki. And yes, those are all tennis balls.
Waiting for our food.
 
Fork and chopstick!
That's quite a bit of food! It was pretty good.
 
Swedish hospital for Swedish people?
The road ends right over there.
Or not..
For some reason, I really like this building.
 
Weird parking lot thinger.

BEST bum picture ever! Hug-a-bum!

"Get em while they're fresh". That's awesome.

 
Road on top of a road.

Yes, lets all learn the mango!

Hahah McConnell can't get away from Safeway!

Crap, their gas is freakin cheap! That's like... 77 cents per litre! Wow.
 
m Time to blow this popsicle stand!
Mmmmm Ferrari....
 
 
 
 
That's one HOT car!
No thumbs up!
 
 
Yes, there are rocks.
 
 
Their signs are HUGE!
That's a pretty sweet liscence plate. How come we don't have any of those in Canada?
Almost back to Canada!
 
 
 
Sorry to say, but America was kinda dumpy. Roads weren't that great, but whatever, we made the trip fun!
Going to White Rock!
 
 
I love White Rock.
Getting kinda artsy....
 
 
 
 
 
 
Shannon, you look freaky in that picture.
