Seattle Aquarium

On my mom's last weekend here we went to the aquarium....

Great big ole' fish there taking a nap on the rock

Is it wrong that I want to eat some of this stuff?

This little guy totally reminded me of Patrick

They let you touch these guys! The ends of the anemone's arms/tentacles (?) would stick to my hand and come out of the water!

Jelly fish!

(didn't touch these)

Wonderful, crazy starfish!

Cool glass tiles all around the walls....

Huge puffer fish!

:) My mom!

Whidbey Island And Deception Pass

Last week my mom and I went on a bit of a road trip, up through Whidbey Island and through Deception Pass...

A ferry from our ferry

Mossymoss!

Ducks-a-plenty at Greenbank Farm

Me mum at Greenbank Farm

Fort Casey

That's one.big.gun

And the lighthouse

After spending the night in Oak Harbor... Deception Pass National Park the next day:

Where's Moss-aldo?

(hint: look for land moss, not sea weed)

Fearless Moss! running up and down cliffy rocks and the like...

Underneath Deception Pass bridge

Aaand then we turned back and went home :)

My Kinda First Halloween...

I'm not huge into Halloween, but this year I saw this silly costume and decided to go for it :)

Getting ready...

Then we went to the Skylark to their "Come as you aren't" battle of the bands

And got to hang out with Brock in his Chinaman costume...

The Mangles as The Bangles
(rocked it)

Mmmmaybe had a drink by now...

We'll see if next year I have the balls to do it again ;)

Canajia

For years Brock and I have been wanting to go to Canada and eat some Japadogs. And now, we HAVE!

Canajun border

Moss, about to become well traveled.

Oh, Canada!

After we got in, stopped to get some Canadian change... for just in case...

Mossymoss, International Dog of Mistery.

I sense a certain disdain about upcoming events..

Upon arriving on Vancouver, we decided we'd visit the Police Museum

Feeling smug, are we?

...

Loved the illegal weapons display

tableware

She seems so unhappy to be holding that thing!

Then it was finally lunch time and... Yay! found the Japadog cart!

Ordered a Terimayo and an Okonomi

Moss got to be held for a bit so the distracted patrons wouldn't trample him... Me included.

Ever travel to another country just for a hotdog?
Well if you do, I recommend the Terimayo.

Strolling about...

They were doing the Eagle thing, like Seattle was doing the Pig thing back in '07

Came across some filming on the street. I believe this is supposed to be for the new A-Team movie (yes, I know, keeping my fingers crossed so it don't suck major a**). They had the streets looking like Germany, all the cars had European plates and there was a crap load of Mercedes Benz.

And then, the holy grail

A Polizei car... a fracking CLS AMG 63 polizei car. And it was... warm.
I could cry now... but i won't.

Pardon me while I soak up the puddle that once was me and then recoup.

Ok. back to strolling...

Even the ground looks like Canada...

And yay! that was it. Short but sweet. Now head back home.
