We had two friends arrive on Tuesday. Which was when I made my birthday cake (yes I made my own cake... I like to make cake). It was a raspberry lemon cake, though mostly just tasted like biting into a lemon! I think next time I'll go with a less "lemony" cake.
Wednesday was my birthday and it was 12-12-12! Our friend who lives in Abu Dhabi flew in that day and we had some local friends come over as well. We had a lot of food and drinks, such as hot dogs, mac & cheese, chips, punch, soda, etc...
Thursday and Friday were spent checking out various sites in Seattle. We did Pike Place and a lot of the food around there, the Fremont Troll, Fremont Brewery (for those who could have beer), Seattle Art Museum, and the Seattle Underworld Tour.
Our friend from Abu Dhabi left on Friday. The rest of us headed to Vancouver, Canada for a day trip on Saturday. We had a tasty lunch at a cafe there and then headed to Tellus Science World.
Upon leaving Science World was when things got... not so great... We discovered that we had been robbed. Both purses that were in the trunk were taken, my friend's laptop, a cell phone, and a couple other items were stolen. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 of us also had our passports in the purses... It was a horrible evening, but we eventually gave up hunting for dumped items and figured out how to get back into the USA. There are a lot worse things that could have happened... but it still sucked! The next day our friends left to go back to NM. Like I said, it was great... until it wasn't. :)
