Yesterday April and I adventured our way down to Pier 66 in Seattle near the waterfront and spent the afternoon painting our own miniature watercolor paintings.
April Visits Washington! - Third Trip (May ‘10) - Video Montage
April got an internship out here in Seattle for the summer. I decided to fly out to Indiana (one-way) so that we could both drive her car out to Washington. This montage chronicles the majority of our adventure; including dealing with the epic loss of her 2001 Ford Focus only 7 hours into our trip.
I just booked my one way flight to Indiana so that April and I can drive her car back to Washington together when she moves here in late May!
We are going to roadtrip the 2,234 miles from her hometown in Indiana back to Washington! We’re estimating driving about 12 hours a day for 3 days in order to make it back. I’m looking forward to hotel pit-stops, fast food and high junk food consumption. Needless to say, there will DEFINITELY be a video montage made out of the video footage I plan on filming.
I am so excited to have her here! She’s going to stay for almost 3 months while she does some summer internship work in Seattle. I CANNOT WAIT!
My beautiful, better half revisited Washington for her second time in March to spend her entire spring break in Seattle! I really wanted her to see more of the city downtown and explore what it has to offer. Umi’s Saki House, Alice In Wonderland in 3D, Shutter Island, the Seattle Public Library, the Fremont Troll, the Cougar Mountain Wildlife Park, and the Columbia Tower Club were just a few of the places and things we did while she was here.
We decided to dedicate a day to venture up to Vancouver, BC via an Amtrak train. It was seriously so much fun! We only spent 6 hours there; but we got to see the Olympic torches still burning and we rented some bikes to see so much more of the city than we ever would have been able to by foot alone.
For months I’ve wanted to build the Lego replica of the Space Needle. After going to the top of the Needle, we visited the gift shop and picked one up. It was fun to put it together and speed up the footage to create a ‘time lapse’ effect.
I miss her terribly though. My fingers are crossed that a summer internship out here in Seattle becomes a reality.
(All footage was filmed on my Flip Video UltraHD and edited in iMovie ‘09.)
I felt the scrapes from the slippery subway grate.
Oh how you laughed at my complete lack of grace.
But I could not recall a more perfect fall,
Cause when I looked up into your eyes… it didn’t hurt at all.
And I thought: “be still my heart”.
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear, if I wake up and you’re still here.. with me.. in the morning.
