Mammoth Fishing 08/2008

Another fishing trip at Mammoth!  Woohoo!  This time my Bro went with me, and we had a total blast!  He caught his first fish, then proceeded to 20080827_29kick my ass and fished almost 2-1 ratio to me!  We finished with a total of 9 fish the first day, and 6 fish the second day.  Not bad for a couple of Tran chumps! 

Other than the fishing, got to do a little mountain biking... and overall... good friends, good laughs, good fishing, and good beer!

Adventures in Seattle/Vancouver/Victoria!

Hey!  Its been a LONG time since I've updated, but its just been absolutely insane!  We started out in Seattle and we hit some totally cool spots: Seattle Space Needle, Pike Place Market, Seattle Aquarium, and Tillicum Village Tour.  Phew... and all that in a day!

On Saturday, we headed out to Tracy and Adam's wedding on Vashon Island outside of Seattle.  Despite a little rain (actually a lot) it was still a total blast... and I have to say one of the funnest weddings I've been too (despite not knowing a lot of people).  Congrats to Adam and Tracy!  The cheesecake wedding cake was awesome!

We finished up in Vancouver, which we were able to explore the main city - including China Town, Granville Island, and some great restaurants around town.  We were in Victoria, which was hella expensive!  But we got to see Butchart Gardens.  Totally awesome! 

Once piece of advice though for those thinking of driving from Seattle to Vancouver... don't do it, try to fly there!  Remember that the Vancouver public transportation totally rocks so you definitely don't need a car.  Check out http://www.frommers.com for great places to check out.  We used it and it rocks!  While in Seattle, check out http://www.yelp.com for some great places to go and eat.
