As I still struggle to get myself off of West Coast time, I've been over all exhausted. I had a blast while I was there though. As I visited with my cousin I saw very quickly that the west coast was very different from the East, and especially the American South. I felt like everyone there was smart. I felt like everyone there cared for the environment, and I felt like everyone there was busy yet friendly. I was in awe of the states natural beauty. We traveled from the city of Seattle to the La Push coast, yes all of you Twilight fans know where I'm talking about. All over the Olympic Peninsula. I was with my mom Aunt and cousin's three kids. Twins five, and the third was two. I got a rude awakening into what exactly it takes to wrangle three kids. My other cousin lives just out side of Seattle, where her husband is stationed in the Navy. They were a joy to be around, because I obviously don't always get to be around them. She made sure that we accomplished all of the touristy things. The Space Needle, Aquarium, Art Museum, Pikes Place Market, and of course the first Starbucks.I also made sure to see Rem Koolhaas's Public Library and Frank Gehry's Experience the Music Project-two very different famous contemporary architects illustrated in the city. Overall I had an absolute blast, and even got to spend some time in Victoria. It's on my top 5 favorite cities in the world, and I can't wait to go back!
