I'll be back here next week for my backpacking trip!!
Yesterday was another day downtown. We went to the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and shopped!! Our last dinner was at Lunchbox Laboratory and it was DELICIOUS. I love that place!! If you ever visit Seattle, it's a must!! We also had cupcakes from Cupcake Royale - so good!!

This weekend, Marcy's cousin is getting married, so tonight is her rehearsal dinner and tomorrow is the wedding. Then, next Tuesday, Marcy and I are headed to the Olympic Peninsula for a 6-day/60-mile backpacking trip. I can't wait!! After I return from that trip, I leave for New York a few days later!! I think things will actually slow down once school starts....
