Walking, okay. Skiing -- yay! I suck, but it's fun to watch me scream (just ask some friends of mine).

As for hiking...does it include mountains? And dirt? I could, like, break a nail...

Blech, I'm not THAT much of a princess. But I might consider hiking...

(Am I coming off as big of a brat as I feel? I guess I'm not such a woodsy gal...)

Ok... I'm #1 gullible man. I thought you LIKED to hike. We can skip the hiking. Yes... hiking would include dirt in the mountains. And streams. And waterwalls. But we can also just drive to the top of the mountain instead of hiking.

Thinking Rainier is awesome in the summer... as is Mt. St. Helen's. And they just reopened Johnston Observatory. (it was closed due to the recent eruptions)

'Elitist' conversation?

I'll bring my sneakers anyway, an observatory sounds facinating.

I'm a big fan on conversation, elitist and no. DG, you'll brief him on me, right?

DD - now don't tempt me, I'm consciously avoiding dragging that up

Shira would be very good on a long walk - down a street with lots of good shopping!

Excellent shopping here... at least an entire afternoon at Pike Place buying the ingredients for a totally fab dinner... and flowers...

*innocently* Tempting you what?

OMG, Shira - now you're just being contrary! I like it

DD - the TRUTH is that Shira is completely laid back and willing to do most anything if it sounds fun and enjoyable - and she can even have interesting and invigorating conversation while you're doing it!

Ok... we'll wait 'til you get here, find out which phase you're currently in, and we'll take it from there. Believe me... I can do the outdoorsy stuff (kayaking, hiking, etc.), sight seeing thing, shopping, theater, chilling by the pool... you name it, I'm game. Just don't ask me to jump off a plane with you. I draw the line at jumping off planes.

You have NO idea how tempting it sounds - especially when we have the heighth of the summer heat here. But we would HAVE to go up to Victoria and then bike around the island a little bit.

Promise? I love Victoria... haven't been in a couple of years. And this is prolly my last summer in Seattle... I would love for it to go out with a bang!

I'm here, I'm here, sheesh -- I had to talk to people, sorry!

DG, if you came up when I came up...oh, the fun we could have! (but you'd have to get a hotel, as I've taken the couch!)

Boobs - are you NUTS?!?!? I've BEEN there in August, and the only place I'd rather NOT be is either Florida or Houston!

YOU need to meet us in the Northwest in August - now THAT is beautiful

Shira, please. Insulting Boobs only gets his heart pumping quicker - and at this point, ANYTHING pumping quicker is OK by him!

End of August would be great DGrant... I'm serious. It would be so fun. And we could take an overnight trip to Victoria on the Clipper during the week... There's a great outdoor theater I could take you to as well...

Of course she did, Darling - she's learning from the best

Gotta run and do some yard work while it's still light - love to you all!
