Because parents like to visit
Whee, so my mommy and stepfather are in town, having never been to Seattle before. (This stymies me, as my stepfather has been, like, everywhere in the world. No joke.)
Yesterday, after work, I bussed to the Seattle Center area where they're staying, and we ended up going to Ivar's for dinner. It was pretty good. I got my stepfather to drive me home, and then they went back to their hotel (still on east coast time) and I cleaned up the apartment a bit more and watched "But I'm a Cheerleader", which was amusing, but disturbing.
Today, I drove down to the Seattle Center, found a place to park, and played tour guide for a bit. We went to the center, and went up the Space Needle - it was good weather for it today. After that, we took the monorail downtown, and for lack of any better idea, I guided them down to the Pike Place Market, where we saw the flying fish. Whooosh. Eventually after wandering around a bit, we ended up at Todai for dinner, because my stepfather mentioned liking all-you-can-eat crab legs. It went over really well and they were both very happy with the food. (Stepdad ate nothing but crab legs for the most part, mom ate some other stuff but mostly crab legs. Neither of them eat sushi, so the all-you-can-eat sushi aspect of the place was totally lost on them.)
After that, we tried to take the monorail back but it was closed down - so we bussed back to the hotel, and then I drove them up here so my mom could see my car and my apartment. She seemed to like both of them, and didn't even think my place was messy. After an hour or two, I drove them back to the hotel. I stopped by Tower, since it was across the street from the hotel, and used the coupon they sent me in the mail the other week... got two DVDs and a CD. Whee.
Came home, watched one of the DVDs (Chicago. I really needed it. Trust me. The musical's been going through my head since July 1st). And whoosh, lo and behold, the evening is goon.
