In July, Beth and I spent a week in Seattle. While I never actually
wrote up my full thoughts on it, it was still one of the most relaxing
trips I've ever taken, as well as a whole lot of fun (and more than a
little bit romantic). I can't say I loved every minute, but I loved
virtually all of it...
The short of it: we stayed at her Aunt Susan's place. We visited my
brother Danny, who was working at the Seattle and Tacoma zoos. I had just
gotten myself a new camera, so I took a whole lot of pictures.
Additional galleries: the Zoo, the Aquarium, the San Juan Islands, and
the Asian
Festival.

Rainbow A nice full-sky rainbow; Beth claims people reported seeing it back in C-U.

Danny and Beth Don't grow too attached to that facial hair of Danny's. Like Beth did.
