Did you ever unearth something from your past so embarrassing yet so extremely cool that you felt the urge to share it with the world? Well, I did! Last week while cleaning my garage I came across a blast from the past, my middle school yearbook from Chaminade College Prep. I know most people would prefer to forget about those awkward “middle” years, but I got a kick out of revisiting them. How can I be so confident about my adolescence you ask? It’s easy because my yearbook is not just a typical 1980’s yearbook with puffy hair and men with bangs. My yearbook is a tribute to one of the great literary pieces of all time – the Lord of the Rings. It’s very clear that the D & D club was also a big part of the yearbook staff.

But don’t take my word for it, just have a look at my yearbook for yourself and see what you think!

It is with great regret that I must admit I forgot my camera when traveling to Seattle for a recent trip. I underestimated the photo opportunities provided by this stunning city by the sea. Having been there for work meetings, I felt I had seen it all before. I was wrong. Seattle has grown up to be an amazing city flush with technology cash and visual innovators. The landscape is evolving and the interplay between natural and man-made is breathtaking. If you are looking for a reasonable getaway and want a visual feast filled with diversity get yourself to Seattle immediately. And, don’t forget your camera!

Below are some recommendations for seeing and experiencing all that is urban and natural in this sometimes overlooked modern city by the sea.
