Oh my have I been busy...or maybe it's not actually that busy for a normal person's standards, but for lazy ol me? It's like drowning in projects and responsibility....But I'll adjust. Someday. Soon hopefully...
But instead of discussing of my school life that no one wants to hear about, lets take it back to last weekend, shall we?
Once upon a time it was the weekend of October 8th. My uncle was bringing up my desk for me, and I was using Davic as free labor since I sure as heck wasn't gonna lift no furniture!
When my Aunt and Uncle arrived it was WEIRD. Having my small town uncle there with my best friend in my big city apartment? It was like 2 or 3 worlds colliding. It was also a tad awkward that I didn't have anywhere for them to sit. Apparently they weren't okay with sitting on the floor so they just stood.
Afterwords, I wanted to take Davic to see something very Seattley, since he never really gets out of our home town. We decided to take a mini adventure to Pike Place Market!
The store we spent the most time in was probably my mom's "hippy store." The smell of incense literally smacks you in the face when you walk in, and there's hindu deities everywhere.
This store also has a no photo policy, which I didn't realize until I was leaving. I think this might have upset Ganesha. Look at how angry he was with me!
I'm sorry Ganesha!! I wish I knew the store's name so I could advertise them here to make up for my mistake.
Next up was the famous gum wall. I've always seen this wall in photos online, but in my whole life of coming here, I never knew it was at Pike place!
Take in all the beauty.
Davic was reluctant. For whatever reason he was grossed out by the wall (psh) and didn't want to go closer to it. Ironically he was the one who accidentally touched it. :) But instead of discussing of my school life that no one wants to hear about, lets take it back to last weekend, shall we?

I was STOKED.
Of course since the gum wall is down in an alleyway, there's plenty of graffiti.
Why does this bird look so traumatized by me? :(
While Mommie explored the vitamin and supplement shop, I let Davic pick where we went since the trip was more for him than anyone. Unfortunately he was interested in nicknacks. Ugly, tacky, cheap, useless, nicknacks...
Whatever makes you happy buddy...
Um. And then there were pretty stars? And peppers. I donno, sorry I don't have a segway. My photos get super choppy from here on out.
We went to Le Panier, and I finally tried a real live Macaron! Those cute little deserts you see as decorations everywhere lately.
Look at that chalk drawing! They look like Dahlias. <3
It was WAY too sweet for my liking. But the flavor wasn't bad. It was fun eating a green desert none the less.
We ate our deserts at a place I like to call "homeless park" but it was hard to enjoy them with all the cigarette smoke blowing around. *cough cough*
Oh dear there's a whole lot of awkward going on in this photo. We are the awkward family! But at least it's a cute awkward.....right? rigght?? :(
For some reason, that day we saw balloons floating away in the sky at least 4 different times. As we were walking down to the waterfront I finally caught one on camera.
We also saw this wedding party walking away post-ceremony. It seemed like a fairly creative wedding. If I remember correctly, one of the bridesmaids had a purple mustache glued to her face.
I really wanted to show Davic the classic waterfront shops. The Curiosity shop, Miner's landing, the aquarium, but we just didn't have time. But no worries, it just gives an excuse for us to have adventures again soon. :)
He did, however, make a new friend before we boarded our bus and ended our day.
Up next is a SUPER MEGA sappy entry about the next day at a Buddhist temple.
