Months ago we discovered that one of our favorite bands Nine Inch Nails was not going to be touring through the Bay Area… weird right? They are one of those bands that not only haven't toured in a while but it's uncertain whether or not they will tour again. It was something we had to see! So we had two options. We could go to Seattle or we could go to Los Angeles. Both we have never been to. We tried to go to the LA show but weren't able to get tickets. So we decided to go to Seattle.
After wrestling with the decision on if we should fly or not we decided we wanted to drive. Really it doesn't seem that far right? After working almost 14 hours I came home and slept for 4 hours then we got up… slightly latter then planned but the extra sleep was needed. The drive started out optimistic but we discovered quickly that would seemed like a "short drive" turned into a long trip. 13 hours of traveling was rough but we got to see some beautiful places.
We made it to Seattle and when we checked in we got upgraded with a bigger room, jacuzzi, and a view of the Space Needle. We got some rest and the next day we visited the Space Needle, the EMP Musuem, and was able to meet up with some friends. Our second day we met up with a colleague of Josh's. Came back to a trip at Pikes Place Market and walked around. We were able to go on a ferris wheel and we saw the original Starbucks. We were also able to eat some amazing vegetarian pizza! Then of course we went and saw Nine Inch Nails.
Our trip was short. The next day we were back on the road and headed back to the bay. The drive back was much easier I would say. We stopped in Portland where we got lost trying to find the Apple store. We made it back safe. We really enjoyed Seattle and hope to go back soon. Here are some pictures from the trip!
