Let us not Forget: Another Flying Victory

{ Conquering Fear, Travel }

July 27, 2009

Subsumed in last week’s flurry of dumb health crap was a hidden gem: the weekend right before my surprise colonoscopy was marked by another victory in my steps toward being a comfortable flyer. A sudden opportunity presented itself on Friday–tickets to the Seattle Sounders/Chelsea FC game that Christie had–so I immediately bought an early-morning commuter jet flight from PDX to SEA. Here is the weekend, quickly, in photos. It was fun-relaxing.

The game was a blast. 65,000 people. Good seats. Qwest field. Seattle.
