Seattle Trip

Monday morning I got a call to do a job interview in Seattle. By Wednesday night, Meggan and I were heading north to kick it in Seattle before the big interview. Traffic wasn't half bad until we were about 2 miles from our hotel, at which point, our average speed dropped to roughly 2 mph. Even with this minor setback, we made it into the city by about 10:30 pm. Let me tell you, the city is BEAUTIFUL at night. Lots of lights everywhere, big buildings, you name it, it was there. We drove past our hotel (twice actually because we didn't know where it was), but when we finally arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. The company had decided to put us up in an AMAZING hotel. Not only was it super posh, it was really comfortable. There was art everywhere (the doors to the rooms were covered in giant black and white pictures. It was fantastic. Even the restaurant next door was wonderful (though the service was kind of slow even though the restaurant was nearly empty). The next morning we raced around trying to get to the interview on time. The interview went well, and Meggan and I hit the road once again. It was already 4 pm and I needed to get home so that I could be back at work by 4:30 am. Even though there was stop and go traffic from downtown Seattle until well after Tacoma, somehow we managed to make it home before 10 pm! While we were completely exhausted after two days of driving, we managed to enjoy our mini-vacation.
