Seattle - Eporia Workshop

Seattle has been on my "to do" travel list for a long time, and I finally got a glimpse of it in mid-November! TJ Formal is undergoing, yet another, major website change and we traveled to Washington state for a training workshop with our new company, Eporia. It was a very quick trip, but we did get a chance to look around a little.

Nine of us flew in from all over the country... Joplin, Charleston, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco and Manhattan, to meet up in Seattle. It was the first time several of the girls had met in person! We loaded into our sweet 12 passenger van and had a quick dinner.



The next morning we went to a full day of training on the University of Washington Bothell Campus.





That evening we headed into downtown Seattle to the Space Needle. After a look around the gift shop we went up to the top for a great view! We took a tour, of sorts, around downtown while we looked for a place to eat. Thanks to our iPhones and Google maps we finally found a great Italian place... whew. Even in the dark, Seattle seemed great - I can't wait to go back and see it in the light! :)









We had another early morning for another half day of training before we all filtered to the airport. We've still got a lot of work left on our new website, but we're SO excited for it to launch!
