Though I am not sure exactly why, yesterday I found myself thinking of our stay near the University of Washington on our trip to Seattle. Maybe our time there came to mind (again) after watching college basketball over the weekend? I remembered that when walking the campus during our trip I said that there was no way I would have gone anywhere else had I visited the university prior to making my choice. Sure I am glad that I went to Syracuse (it was really the only place I wanted to go from a young age), but I think that the University of Washington would have been worth going 3000 miles away from home for. At the very least we will definitely take a stroll in the area again the next time we are in Seattle.
Here are a few images from our time there . . .
Many excellent outdoor spaces
Like I said
And some more
I can only imagine it full of people
Brick buildings galore
And some that are not
We almost had the place to ourselves!
It certainly helped that it was a perfect day.
OK, so the fountain was not working that day.
We were on vacation . . . no time for the gym.
I guess the windows caught my eye.
Beautiful stadium that opens up to the water.
Our hotel very close by.
The love affair with pho was rekindled just off campus.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) my college days are over!
University of Washington??? What? What? I think you are having some neurological misfiring between your synapses caused by lack of genny cream – What you meant to say is there is nowhere else you would have gone but to CORNELL!!!!!
Do you really think that I am (or was) Cornell material? I have nightmare about driving up and down those hills in the winter and I have never even lived there!
