GOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

So one of my favorite memories is going to Seattle to watch Real Salt Lake win the 2009 MLS Cup. Lindsay and I decided to go to Seattle since she used to live there and wanted to show me around. For part of the trip, we did a tour of Qwest Field, which was the place this picture was taken:

For part of the tour, they let us onto the pitch (or field, depending on what sport you're participating in), which I loved.

So I got some pictures down on the field.

Taking a penalty kick...

...standing in the goal, staring down the opposition...

...and one with a great wife! Thanks babe!

Seattle Spectacular! The Japanese Gardens!

One thing I love about Seattle is how green it is, any time of year! Spence and I just had a great time taking a trip to visit my parents and also have a get away. We were excited to see them and escape from the heat and business of LA to the cool and lush greenery of Seattle. We kicked off the visit with a fun boat ride, then followed up with a walk through Lincoln Park and a visit to the Japanese Gardens the ensuing days. Both these parks were explored upon recommendation from my brother and we thoroughly enjoyed them! The Japanese gardens were exquisite!
