And now they're gone, and I'm back. This week has simultaneously been the shortest and longest week of the entire summer thus far, if that makes any sense. Last weekend was practically non-existent as far as my usual lounging around doing much of nothing was concerned. Saturday we went to the Space Needle, took the Argosy ferry tour thing, and went to the Seattle Aquarium, and then Sunday we went to the Pacific Science Center. We'd each gotten one of those City Pass things when we went to the Space Needle which let us go to 6 different places combined for cheaper than the 6 places would have cost separately.
After the Pacific Science Center, we drove about halfway to Mt. Rainer, trying to find a good place to stop and take a good picture of it. We ended up stopping somewhere in the boonies and my sister asked some random guy if she could stand in his yard to take a picture of it since his place had a good view.
And then during the week I had to go to work. For me, that was practically MY vacation from THEIR vacation. During the week they went to the Woodland Park Zoo one day, and to Mt. Saint Helens another. They ended up giving the rest of my tickets and their Flight Museum tickets to some random people at the Zoo, I think.
One of my sisters painted my bathroom. My other sister (the one who owns it and to whom I pay rent) didn't like the brown color that the walls were originally, so now it's white with dark blue trim. It looks all right, but I didn't much mind or care about what it was before either, so meh.
Other than that, in the evenings when things were mostly settled down, my nephew and I watched all of the Mega64 ver. 1 DVD that I'd bought a while back as well as about three-fourths of the Strong Bad emails starting from the beginning. I don't think my sisters much cared for that, for fairly obvious reasons, but we enjoyed it.
Today after work, we visited DigiPen and wandered around for about twenty minutes or so while I showed them around. We got one of the new demo DVDs, which was somewhat cool.
On the one hand, it was cool that they came and visited, and we did some pretty cool stuff that I otherwise wouldn't have done had it just been me.
...but on the other hand, I am SO incredibly glad that it's Friday again and that I have two full days to sit around doing absolutely, positively nothing of any kind whatsoever, if I so choose.
