I know that it may not for everyone, but I love being going away on business trips. At my job, we have an annual conference which rotates between Whistler, Victoria and Kelowna each year. I got to spend 6 days at Whistler last year. In September, I’ll get to go and stay at the Empress Hotel in Victoria. Not too shabby.
That conference aside, I didn’t think I’d get a chance to go on another one. Until Mozcon came along. I submitted my proposal to attend and was pleasantly surprised that it got approved. I get to be absorb much knowledge about inbound marketing.
Plus I get to see Seattle my way, which means museums and the like. I’m no stranger to Seattle, but every time I do get to visit, it’s always with friends in tow and that means factoring in what they would like to do/see. (and they’re not quite the culture vulture types).
So here is what I got up to when I wasn’t conferencing:
A rodent incubus at the Seattle Art Museum.
The porcelain room at Seattle Art Museum.
Xenomorph sighting at EMP.
Cersei Lannister’s costume at EMP.
Chihuly glass roof.
Chihuly at night.
Also, Asian Art Museum, shopping, Nordstrom cafe, Cheesecake Factory and a lunch date with a friend and her little kiddo. I packed it in. Like I always do.
