Seattle Heat Wave

We can now say that we survived the hottest day ever recored in Seattle! The previous hottest record was 100 degrees on July 20th, 1994 and yesterday it got to 103 degrees! These are recorded at SeaTac International Airport as the "official" temperature, but it did get even hotter in other areas around Seattle. I heard on the news that there were only 2 major cities in the US that did not have a recorded temperature higher than 100 degrees; Miami and Seattle. Now it's only Miami. This week has just been blistering hot and of course most houses here don't have air conditioning because we would only need it for a few days during the summer.

Here is proof of the heat - Tim took these on his drive to and from work yesterday, hence the quality since they were taken with his BlackBerry.

Taken at 4:30 AM!

Taken around 2:00 PM!

This week has just been blistering hot and of course most houses here don't have air conditioning because we would only need it for a few days during the summer. I feel like I'm in Arizona!

Luckily my mom brought over their portable air conditioner so that Karsen and I can try to keep cool during the day. We've been holed up in our office/tv room all week with the a/c going non-stop! We've even been sleeping in the room on the pull out couch just to keep cool! At least today is supposed to be the last day in the 90's and tomorrow is supposed to be "cooler" in the 80's - haha!

Love, Michaela
