Around noon we started towards Seattle. I had only been there once before when my brother took me to the first REI a few years ago. It was fun, but I of course want to see more of a city than just one establishment. This time, he took my family to the Pike's Place Market, which was a lot of fun. Here is a picture of the famous public market sign with the new ferris wheel behind it.


After lunch and sightseeing at the market, we then walked just a little ways to the Great Wheel, the new ferris wheel. The five of us - my brother and his girlfriend, my two parents, and I - all fit into one of the cars:
Sightseeing at the market, lunch, and then a ferris wheel ride sounds like enough for a day, right? Actually, our day was just beginning! We then went to a mall and looked around a bookstore for a while-we had a lot of time to kill before needing to be at the airport.
This is my favorite photo of me from the day:
But alas, our time with my brother and his girlfriend soon had to come to an end and we were dropped off at the airport. Even then, we had about three hours still to kill, so I had a delicious bowl of chicken udon, eaten at a leisurely pace.
We left the airport at 10:30 at night and didn't arrive home until seven, the next morning. I couldn't sleep on the plane, so that is why my day was so long! Long, but happy. I am sorry that I couldn't spend more time exploring Anacortes, Bellingham, or Seattle or just spending more time with my brother and his girlfriend, but still, I am grateful for the time I did have. Tomorrow I am going to spend New Year's Eve at one of my dearest friends' apartment. Truly I am blessed to have the family and friends that I do. What did you do or are doing in the holiday season?

to a
study by the Albert Einstein School of Medicine “51.3% of overweight adults and 31.7% of obese adults were
metabolically healthy.’ So I propose we study the 51.3% and 31.7%
of metabolically healthy fat people to see if we can find some information
about being healthy and fat, rather than studying the .001% – .02% of
“successful dieters” to see if we can figure outhow to
jump out of a plane without a parachute make everyone
thin (especially since there are no statistically significant studies
that show that people who maintain weight loss are healthier.)
