Tonight was the last chance for us to hang out together while we were both in Seattle. And what did we do? Went to the airport of course!
The night didn't start out that way. But after seeing an outdoor performance of Henry V (great production by Seattle Shakespeare Company/Wooden O and beautiful direction by George Mount) we realized we needed more time. We tried to go to a bar but found nothing pleasing so instead ended up at the airport. 3 bucks to park while we discussed travel plans seems pretty good.
We discovered after arriving that we probably shouldn't have been there since neither of us had a ticket for tonight, although Sputnik will be flying to DC on Thursday and Jade will be flying to Philly a week from Saturday. The sign above informed us of our criminal nature.
Oh well! We discussed how when Sputnik wins the power ball we'll do this again, getting on the next plane that's leaving. Let a steel bird transport us to a far away land with no expectations of what lays ahead.
Now we're sitting on Jade's brothers' couch reading a Lonely Planet Southern Africa guide, discussing what we might do when Sputnik comes to visit Jade in Botswana. Hard to believe she'll be in Africa in just over a week!
