New "Sky" Interior on an Alaska Air 737-900ER!

On my last trip to Oakland and the Bay area, I was on a brand new Alaska Airline 737-900ER, which is really nice! I can't recall being a plane with this new type of interior, but between the thinner seats and the reconfigured bins the plan really does feel like it is more spacious. The LED lighting is nice although I am no sure how long the "cool blue" thing will last, fortunate it can all be reprogrammed!

University of Washington Sakura Cherry Blossoms 2014

It is time once again for sakura season! The cherry blossoms at the University of Washington are at peak bloom (as of 2014-03-23) and the weather is finally feeling like spring. The annual bloom of the cherry trees is a cherished part of the experience of being a student at the University of Washington and draws visitors from around the world. 

If you are interested in seeing the cherry blossoms, go now! You can also see pictures from previous years here if you need more sakura photos and you can read more about the history of the trees here.
