Part
1: 1992 all over again
Steve and Amy fly out to the Pacific
Northwest for a friend's wedding. In the meantime,
old memories flashback for Steve while new memories are
sponsored
by Weyerhaeuser! |
| |
|
| |
Part
2: ORD to SEA
Believe it or not, Alaska
Airlines flies direct from Chicago
to Seattle. And nothing beats flying in a hot plane
with screaming kids that left late from O'Hare! |
| |
|
| |
Part
3: Doctor Who and the iPod
Killing time on a flight by watching a soon-to-be
BBC classic and reading really, really small type
on our iPod. Try not to crash into Mount
Rainer! |
| |
|
| |
Part
4: Pretty views and Burgerville!
Waking up to a wonderful overlook encourages Steve & Amy
as they head out with Darren & Christy to enjoy the day.
Rumor has it that ARCO
has "the worst gas in the world." |
| |
|
| |
Part
5: A historical look at Mount St. Helens
On May 18, 1980, at 8:32 a.m., Mount
St. Helens erupted violently... and the rest is history.
What's happened with this active volcano since erupting
25 years ago? |
| |
|
| |
Part
6: Please don't drive off the cliff!
Everyone explores Mount
St. Helens National Volcanic Monument by experiencing
various Visitor's Centers, overlooks, and pretty freaky
winding roads. Yikes! |
| |
|
| |
Part
7: The Bon Marché + Azteca
After viewing Mount St. Helens, it's time to find a bite
to eat. However, this proves to be challenging. Eventually,
all roads lead to Portland,
OR. |
| |
|
| |
Part
8: Is Tillamook Cheese really that special?
Darren & Christy note that Tillamook
Cheese is the best cheese in the whole darn United
States. C'mon, can it really be better than America's
Dairyland? |
| |
|
| |
Part
9: Cape Meares Lighthouse
It wouldn't be a Steve & Amy trip without a visit to a
lighthouse.
This one just happens to be the shortest beacon in the
whole state of Oregon - 38 feet tall! |
| |
|
| |
Part
10: Um, are the keys supposed to be in the trunk?
Don't eat at Moe's.
Do enjoy Rockaway
Beach. Don't miss Garibaldi's
big "G". Do touch the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Don't
accidentally lock yourself out! |
| |
|
| |
Part
11: Tillamook Rock Lighthouse
It's an old lighthouse
built on a rock you can't get to, but that doesn't stop
Steve & Amy from capturing a view. The visit results in
hair full of rocks. |
| |
|
| |
Part
12: 170 flavors = 155 flavors?
What's the deal with The Seaside Candyman? They lied about how many flavors they had, even though they are the "best and biggest salt water taffy shop west of the Rockies." |
| |
|
| |
Part
13: North Head Lighthouse
What do you get when you combine a Pacific Northwest coastal
lighthouse, high bluffs, crazy winds, and the beautiful
sunset? Best
lighthouse view ever! |
| |
|
| |
Part
14: Foggy Disappointment
A lighthouse is missed due to darkness. Stupid back roads
through Washington prolong the tension and stress of a
long day. And Poppycock
doesn't have enough nuts! |
| |
|
| |
Part
15: Heading to Seattle
Just so you know, the Rapture
didn't occur on October 28, 1992. Also, the Kingdome
is no more. And don't even get Steve started about Westfield
Shoppingtowns. |
| |
|
| |
Part
16: Space Needle vs. Sears Tower
When you think about Seattle, you often visualize the
iconic Space
Needle. But is it all it's cracked up to be? Time
to explore and eat at the top! |
| |
|
| |
Part
17: West Point Lighthouse
Seattle boasts two
lighthouses; this is one of them. It used a Fourth
Order Fresnel lens back in the day. What the heck is a
Fresnel lens? Ha, glad you asked. |
| |
|
| |
Part
18: Pre-Wedding BBQ
Hey Seattle, here's an idea... work on your transportation
systems! They stink. Steve & Amy trek on down to Puyallup
(how to do say that?) to hook up with Anna & Matt. |
| |
|
| |
Part
19: Alki Point Lighthouse
This is Seattle's
other lighthouse. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard doesn't
really want you to see it. So Steve & Amy go on a covert
mission to check it out. |
| |
|
| |
Part
20: Throw fish at Pike Place Market
Besides the Space Needle, most tourists flock to Pike
Place Market to experience the famous flying fish.
They've got other food there too, ya know. Really! |
| |
|
| |
Part
21: Keep Clam
Arrr! Ivar
says ye best be eating his clams all the time. Or just
order a burger like Steve did. Plus, Seattle wants to
kill their waterfront
trolley. |
| |
|
| |
Part
22: Anna & Matt's Wedding
So we were a few minutes late; we still saw the whole
thing! Cool building, touching ceremony, and beautiful
weather. Can't beat that to tie the knot. |
| |
|
| |
Part
23: SEA to ORD
Time to fly back to Chicago. Give Steve & Amy 10 minutes
with the CEO of Alaska
Airlines. It's time the airline seriously think about
their stupid
boarding policies! |
| |
|
| |
Part
24: O'Hare Sucks
Yes, Steve & Amy live in Chicago. Yes, they love Chicago.
But c'mon, O'Hare
International Airport is really, really bad. How can
you not have a gate when you land? |
| |
|
| |
Part
25: The Outtakes
Just when you think the story ends, the bonus features
kick in with unpublished photos and background stories
from SumTan's
Pacific Northwest Trek, sponsored by Weyerhaeuser. |
