Seattle, WA May 2009

I've been lucky enough to wear the ZLo on a couple separate occasions. First was at Leiha's house, shortly after it arrived. We had great fun checking it out and trying it on. Even my sons wanted to try it out and see how cool they looked.

A short while later Leiha and I hit downtown Seattle with ZLo in tow. After finding a place to park I lead the way to the happy hour spot...only to march Leiha though a couple of my personal dark zones (about 4 city blocks that I'd forgotten about when directing Leiha to the closest parking garage). We got to the bar and ordered some drinks and appies (Leiha! Those bacon wrapped dates!) and fueled up for the evening. While taking some pictures there were a few questions from those sitting around us, but no one was cool enough to muster up the courage to try the ZLo.

After the bar we headed towards the famous Pike's Place Market and took photos all over the place. The ones that come to mind most readily are the pics where we climbed up on Rachel the Pig, when we found that chair with a pig's rear end on it's back half, the fabulous Italian Restaraunt called The Pink Door...there are so many!

After the market we hit the Seattle Center and the Space Needle, where I tested out the theory that the ZLo was light enough to be able to do a cartwheel while wearing it. It is! And I did!! We tried to get into the Pacific Science Center area, where they were showing the new Star Trek movie, but they wanted us to buy a ticket, so we had to move on. Various cool sculptures around the enter provided fun backdrops, and I even made Leiha walk down into the Peace Fountain for a photo.
What a fun day we had in sunny Seattle!

A note from Leiha:
Ronlyn wanted to try out her cartwheel theory at my house when she first saw the ZLo. Her husband, Mr Awesometastic and I had to talk her out of it, due to the fact is was pouring down rain.

Seattle, WA February 2009


Before I sent the MacHalo on the first leg of it's tour I had to get pics of it with the Space Needle in the background so I grabbed my sister and my roommate and off we went. We had never been to this part of the city but I think the view was great. Nancy was trying to hold the Space Needle in her hand I think she did a wonderful job.

I had never been to the Fremont Troll. Actually never even heard of it. But the husband of one of my friends said we had to go check him out and I was so glad we did. How cool is he? His eyes are hubcaps. My sister who has lived here for 20 something year had never been there either and she thought it was so cool she took her son there the following week.

FYI, the 7-11 picture is of my dad. I wanted to take a picture of him at work since I got the MacHalo. I think it's funny. He had the look on his face when I came in the door with the MacHalo, "what crazy thing does my oldest and most beloved daughter want me to do?"
