The Lost Days...

Somewhere between Orcas Island and Portland, there was Seattle. And I'm not just talking geographically. I spent a week with my father, and these are the pictures from that time, that didn't make it onto the blog when they should have because I got a little Pretty Reckless crazy. 


Here you go:


At Johnny Rockets, chocolate coke and cherry coke. That was our first night back in Seattle.

Biking down at Alki beach. By "Seattle" I mostly mean "West Seattle"

More Alki Beach. I miss the ocean...

Not my best work. Also not my worst.

Hey look, tis ME

The look of intense concentration makes him bike better. I think.

Loads of people gathered around looking at this fluffy little baby harbor seal that was chillin on the beach.

You'll notice that most of my pictures of Kevin involve his bike...

Oh god I'm pale... but, those are my brand new Vans which I adore.

Not a very good picture, but shows just how stupidly small his bike is. 

Lincoln Park. Just past that ferry dock is where I used to live. That's a distant memory now.

More at Lincoln Park.

My father. He's arabic. I'm adopted. Yeah...

There's this face that every boy can make, and only boys can make. Kevin's managed it here. Most famously seen on Twilight star Rob Pattinson (who is so much better in everything else, such as his tiny role in Vanity Fair, or his role in How To Be, or Little Ashes, or a million other things... but it's hard to be worse than body glitter and lipstick...)

Easy Street Records. My home away from home as a kid.

My dads neighbors cat. He's abnormally fuzzy with abnormally short legs and an abnormally short tail, a strangely long body and a face like he ran into a frying pan as a kid...

Leaving Seattle for Portland and The Pretty Reckless

There you go. The lost days of film. I'm going to get back to the painting I was working on and then probably go to sleep, because I can now officially only sleep during they day unless I'm at my boyfriends house. 

What fun... insomnia, a girls best friend.

DAYS ONE AND TWO!

Hey everyone! I'm on the Island and chilling at the Library so I can get internet to post this. Then I'm headed back to the cabin before going to the beach. Instead of the 100+ weather at home, it's a nifty 65 degrees here and overcast. Got my bike fixed and the boyfriend and I are going biking tonight. Lake tomorrow than hopefully reconnect with a long-lost (okay, so two years lost) friend who I've missed more than anything. 


It was the boyfriends first road trip, first time driving through Portland and Seattle, first Ferry Boat ride, first... well, a lot of things, including Ivars Clam Chowder! 



Here are the pics I've taken so far:
DAY ONE:

The boyfriend not waking up...

At breakfast at Denny's

Janis (the Volvo...) broke down. Again.

She was fixed by some nice guys in Roseburg, a few hours outside of my home town...

Boyfriend was entertaining himself.

Lunch at Burgerville

The first of a few pictures of a random Michael Jackson truck we saw...

Next picture

Next picture. You cant see it, but there's a statue on there.

Next picture.

HOOTERS! Haha we passed so many of those on our way to Seattle...

My car at nearly midnight on our way to Seattle after our breakdown. We were behind schedule...

DAY TWO:

On our way to Anacortes...

Kevin with his hat. 

VIDEO GAMES. Again. (In line for the Ferry)

Hey look, it's me!

Leaving the dock on our way to Orcas.

Off the back of the boat

SNEAK ATTACK! Picture of boyfriend and his chowder haha.

He's obsessed. 

The two of us on the back deck (I look so tired!) and his chowder. AGAIN. Haha.

More chowder. He looks concerned this time...

Candy on the boat. Starbursts I think.

I told him there was a sailboat coming up. He got excited.

The sailboat. Incase you were curious.

ME!!

Me. Taken by the boyfriend. Haha.

He's got a one track mind...

Making silly faces.

The Ferry!

Looking over the railing at the back of the boat.

More leaning.

Back in the car, waiting to dock, and playing MORE video games.

Last night before I went into the cabin. The boyfriend's sleeping out in the Yurt and I'm in my old room.

Well, that's it. I'm off to continue my adventure.
