Our last day we took a stroll down to Seattle Glassblowing. They offer classes that would be cool to take. I will have to look for something similar here.
Afterwards, we continued down to the Pacific Place mall, were we found a number of stores to visit. Inori purchased some girl stuff at The Body Shop and got some free brushed.
Before we left the mall, knowing it was quite windy, we stopped at the Starbucks inside the Barnes and Noble. They did not accept my Starbucks card! What the hell?! I am a gold member after all :)
That night we tried a Thai place near the hotel, which was mediocre. I tried pineapple curry with tofu – I do not recommend it.
The following day we headed home. The concierge told us that their free shuttle would take us to the light rail, where for $2.50 each we could ride it (45 minute) all the way to the Sea/Tac Airport. If we had known about the light rail previously we could have visited some other city locations.
I will note here that once again, when we go through airport security Inori always gets a friendly greeting in Japanese. Isn’t she special.
I had my first encounter with the new scanner machines. I opted out because there is no real proof yet that the machines are safe. They had me stand to the side. When a male frisker came over, he pulled me to a side station where we asked me if I had any sensitive areas he should know about. He came close to making me uncomfortable when he ran his finger inside the top of my pants. After he finished I had to wait a minute while he tested the gloves he ran over me.
The plane ride back was quite bumpy as we started our decent. We lucked out this trip, as there was no rain in Seattle, but back home in Sunnyvale it rained hard.
