The weekend went pretty much as planned. The Senate show was great as usual, chilling with the KAs after was very relaxing but, ended up putting me to bed too late.

Saturday was very busy too: Kendall’s surprise started by walking me down to 45th where we caught the 44 bus heading west. We got off on Fremont and started walking north. It took me a minute to realize it but, we were heading to the Woodland Park Zoo! I’ve lived in Seattle for 5 years and have driven past the zoo several times but, I’d never been thre. I had no idea how big it was! We spent several hours there and I think we still missed a few exhibits. Kendall and I took a handful of pictures (they’re uploading now. I’ll edit this post with a link to the set when they’re up.

After the zoo Kendall and I were drained so we decided to take a 30 minute power nap which turned into almost 2 hours which ended up making us pretty late for the Mariner’s game (we got down there during the 3rd inning after the Mariner’s had already scored a bunch of runs). The game was fun though and it was nice to see Merz, Sara, Michael Hanson, Kurt, and a bunch of the active KAs there. The Mariner’s ended up losing though (by one run in extra innings) which brings my personal record to 3W-2L for Mariner’s games I’ve been at this season. I’ve got a handful of pics from the game uploading too.

On Sunday I went to help Rugg set up his new 47″ HDTV. He got a nice wall mount for it and we had it 3/4 of the way up before the 4th bolt broke off as we were drilling it in. We had to take out the other 3 bolts, go pick up my drill (his was just about dead) and then redo the whole thing with 4 new holes. That silly bolt added about 2 hours to our mounting adventure. In the end tough the TV looks reallllly nice set up how it is now and I’m excited for some away game football action there!

After helping Rugg I headed down to pick up Kendall and we caught the 4:40pm boat to Bainbridge Island for her younger sister Olivia’s birthday party. It was nice spending some time with her family and her dad made some pretty good tacos! Before we left Kendall started to feel a little sick and by the time we got back to Seattle she was running a pretty nasty fever. She was feeling better today though which is good. Being sick sucks (I know, I’m just getting over something too).

So all-in-all it was a very nice weekend! Lots of fun stuff going on and kept busy pretty much the whole time. Definitely my kind of weekend
