View of downtown Seattle from GasWorks Park
GasWorks Park, as I was pleasantly surprised to discover, is only about a mile down the street from my apartment in Fremont, and it has incredible views of the city. I would like this picture more, however, if the blue-ness of the water didn't wash out the skyline so much. Ah well... I guess I'll have to go back to the park. :)
Okay, quick summary of the roadtrip:
- Houston to El Paso: boring, except for the giant windmills that are in west Texas
- El Paso to San Diego: boring
- San Diego: nice, although California absolutely sucks at providing road signs. However, the Zoo and SeaWorld were a lot of fun.
- San Diego to San Francisco: Highway 1 is the best invention ever
- San Francisco: Not really a stop, although we got some pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge
- San Francisco to Seattle: Took longer than planned, because we took Highway 101 almost the whole way.
- Oregon coast: Absolutely gorgeous. Highway 101 is the second best invention ever.
Quick summary of work so far:
Blue Origin seems like it's going to be a neat place to work, although my particular job might not be as exciting as I had hoped. Lots of trajectory analysis. Best line heard so far at work:
Mike: "Hey Mark, do you have a ruler I could borrow?"
Mark: "No, but I have some digital calipers - would those work?"
Plus, it's a college student's dream: lots of free food always sitting out on the lunch table, sometimes lunch is provided, and there's a dishwasher in the kitchen.
More later...

Have you seen the mountain yet? Rainier being out is the thing that really would have made that Gasworks pic better. :) How's the apartment? Oh, I'm so jealous!
