Wii-kend at Wazzu with the Parents
So this last weekend I headed east to Pullman Washington, the home of Washington State University, (WSU or Wazzu). It was a pretty nice campus, but I just love campuses. They just have that great atmosphere about them.
The reason is my parents were down for a Veterinary continuing education course over the weekend. So it was a good chance to go and see my parents as well as pick up some good ol Canadian supplies.
The drive was really nice. I took the longer route which took me through White Pass which is squished between Mount Rainier (the one in my picture) and Mount St Helens. It's really beautiful area down here. I decided to take a video of the area while driving through (safe right) but I didn't think of it until I was already out of the big mountains and lakes. But here is my driving video. It ended up being about 6hr drive, but it went fast because I downloaded the audio book Eragon to pass the time.
(Never mind, youtube is doing site maintenance, i'll upload later)
Once there I basically hung out while my parents were in meetings all night. Saturday night I got my parents to try out the Wii!! We got into it playing bowling then I let my parents duke it out in baseball. They ended up tying the game. Wii're all winners
After that we packed up my car full of stuff. They brought down my wakeboard, a bunch of scuba gear, some textbooks, some African artifacts my mom picked up while there, some cowboy gear for cowboy action shooting and a hard drive with all my files and pictures from the home computer.
So thats it, then another 5hr drive home. It was definitely nice to see my parents again. We got to spend some time and i got to see where my mom did her Vet degree so that was cool.
Thats it. Hopefully more posts coming up about work and life. Until then. Skule!

Love your play on words with the Wii toy. Speaking of the traveling engineer, I've got something you need to read but have misplaced your e-mail address. Thought you had it in one of your posts from Denmark but can't find it. All great posts, btw - especially the crazy train ride and forgetting to appy the sunscreen on the beach. Anyway, if you want a good read, send your e-mail address to fach@shaw.ca - Thanks
