On our way there, we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls because Conor claimed he had never been there before. As soon as we got there, he said "oh yeah, I've been here." Nice babe.
Snoqualmie Falls
This picture cracks me up - this lady offered to take our picture, and this is what we got. A really nice close up of the railing in front of her.
In the gift shop, we found some "virtual gifts" for my mom and Jean - virtual meaning "we're too poor to buy this for you, but I thought of you when I saw it."
Jean LOVES squirrels. They are his favorite little critter in the whole wide world. In fact, if you're reading this and you see anything squirrel related, feel free to buy it for Jean - he'd LOVE it!
Conor and I went to Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA together. While there visiting this summer, we made sure to go back to all the places we lived on and off campus, and we visited the buildings that we spent the most time in (but not until we stopped at Rossow's U-Totem for burgers and shakes, of course!)
I'm going to show you our buildings in the order that we lived in them, rather than the order that we saw them in. You're welcome.
Beck Hall - oddly enough, Conor and I were both placed in Beck Hall our freshman year, we just happened to have our freshman years one year apart.

Their landlady was crazy, not the best apartment in the world.
Sophomore year I lived in Quigley Hall, Conor lived on the 2nd floor of Quigley Hall the same year as me.
When we were there this summer, Quigley Hall happened to be open so we snuck down the hall to see my room - and the door was open!
This is me reenacting the day I broke my toe on the door to Quigley Hall. I still remember it like it was yesterday, but I definitely didn't react like that. I was in such a state of shock, I didn't know if I should bend it back into place or pass out right in front of the door. Instead, I walked on it to go meet my mom in the parking lot, and as I burst into tears, my sister (pregnant with twins...) was waiting to pop out from the back seat and surprise me by coming with my mom to visit!
After Quigley Hall, Conor lived here in Stephens-Whitney with Chris Miller and a few super random, weird roommates. One of my favorite memories of Conor living here was when Conor farted right in Chris's face while walking up the stairs, and he made Chris barf. Twice. Oh memories.
While Conor lived in Stephens-Whitney, I lived in Barto Hall. I lived with Theresa Madison first while Megan studied abroad in Guadalajara, and when she got back, we lived there together.
This was obviously my favorite place to live - the Glasseys bought this house with plans of renting it to Conor, Megan, myself, and a few other friends, and with hopes of renting it out later if they could find good tenants. We lived with roommates from Megan's freshman dorm - Ashley Buchanan and Emily Borrow. We had some great times in that house! Unfortunately, after Bill and Ann sold the house, the next owners ripped out all the trees and paved everything in front! It lost some of the charm, but it's still cute.
After looking at our old dorms, we also checked out the buildings where we took most of our classes from.
Bouillon Hall - the journalism department (also known as the honeycomb building.)
Black Hall - the education department, it was one of the newer buildings on campus.
Walking around campus in the hot Ellensburg heat made us pretty hungry, so Conor and I decided to eat at Pasta & Co. Our pasta was pretty good, but the dessert was great!
Nice.
See what happens when you actually smile - what a cute picture!
Dessert - creme brulee. Yum.
Thanks for showing us a good time Eburg, can't wait to come back again soon!
