So you all know that Im going on a trip to Washington, right. Youre all wondering, "What will Jessie be doing while she's in the great state of Washington?" Well ponder no further!

Go go gadget Itinerary!!!

***Warning: This Itinerary is geared towards sight seeing,
as most going with me have never been to Washington.***

Sunday- Arrivial at 5:30 am on 7-29. Drive to mothers
place in the rental car. Catch up on sleep and/or
chill. 11am (or when rested) head
out to Seattle. Hit the Seattle Center/Space Needle
and have lunch at the food court or nearby resteraunt.
Pikes Place market run through for snack, fruits, art, ect.
Head back to mums around 6-7ish or earlier. Since this is
actually my Birthday as well I thought that itd be
neat to have a BBQ at my mothers place. We can pick up
the fixing from the store on the way back if she
doesnt provide. It might be neat if my aunt & cousins
came over, but I dont know if theyll be around or not.

Monday- Head out early to the Olympic Peninsula. Take a 
ferry there and stop for lunch at one of the  Parks. Check 
out Olympic National Parks Visitor Center
in Port Angeles when we drive through. It looks like
the rain forest that you can drive to is called Hoh
Rain Forest. (no jokes) So if we want to head out
there, we could make the trip to Forks check out
Rialto Beach and drive up to Hoh. Ending this day in
Sol Duc. Cabin is rented there and the Hot Springs are
the trophy at the end of this adventure.

Tuesday- Sol Duc provides us with breakfast as part of
our package. Leave after breakfast and head back
towards Seattle. Visit the Experienced Music Project
(EMP) and have a late lunch in Seattle. Suggested
eating: the Brooklynn.

Wednesday- Depending on the weather we are either
going to Leavenworth or Mount Rainier. We want the
nicer weather for Mount Rainier.

Thursday- Depending on the weather we are either going
to Leavenworth or Mount Rainier. We want the nicer
weather for Mount Rainier.

Friday- Free day. We are probably going to do local
stuff, like see Snoqualmie Falls or go through the
back roads near Mount Si.

Saturday- Leaving at 5pm, we havent figured out
exactly what we are doing during this day.

Recently Ive been listening to talk radio stations. Its adicting I tell you! Its reinvoked my love of learning and seriously sparked my need for more . Anywho, so I shared this on my myspace page, but thought some people in the LJ world might find it interesting too. If you have a mild interest in music, or just have 17 minutes and 54 seconds to dedicate to listening Id suggest you listening to this. This is radio broadcast I heard on NPR chicago edition. Its from about four years ago when strict copyright laws were being put into effect.

If you do not have an interest in music, or are just plain 'too busy' then let me sum it up with my favorite quote from it:

"Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture."      -Judge Alex Kozinski
