A Pacific Northwest Summer

Originally I had these posted with my internship, but it just seemed easier to differentiate between the two. All of these are pictures from the summer (stolen from my friend Tessa) but are a collection of events some or all of the interns/REU's/COSEE's participated in. They are in no particular order. 


We had several hangouts in Washington Park 


In fact on our last night some of us jumped in the freezing cold water for the final bonfire


Four people did the Bivalve Bash mudrun, Erin braved it too!


Lots of ultimate frisbee during the week


Also several hikes


This is one that one of the SPMC staff led us on


complete with waterfall...


and snow!


Our first weekend we went to Friday Harbor

One weekend we decided to visit Vancouver 


Ran into some trouble along the way...


And eventually made it into the aquarium.


Just a nice abalone shell


Local beach seine we helped with


Some fun in the intertidal


Matching plaid student/mentor


Got to go on a non-AAUS dive



Dinner at our advisor's house. FANTASTIC!


The last day a bunch of us were flying out of Sea-Tac. We stopped in downtown seattle to visit the gum wall


And Pike's


It was hard to say good-bye after this summer. I've already run into two of the students from SPMC and I hope to see more in the future. Hopefully this isn't the last the northwest has seen of me!
