Pokémon Community Day-Point Defiance Park

My first community day in the US and it’s ralts, one of my fave Pokémon. After a long trip, we finally arrived at Point Defiance Park at Tacoma, Seattle. It was a huge park with its own zoo and aquarium inside which we don’t have time to explore. However, we did managed to see quite a lot of flowers, especially the dahlia flowers which were in full bloom. They’re so pretty and looks like little symmetrical flower balls.
Check out my YouTube video on ralts community day:



Got myself 5 shiny ralts and many fun AR photos. 


Even managed to see a deer at the end of the day roaming by itself.


After community day ended, we went for dinner at Pho 38 nearby. 

Our first bowl of pho in the US. Yum yum....big bowl and cheap. Any pho in the US taste way better than NamNam in SG. 
After that, we drove to Sequim and check in at Olympic View Inn. The reception was closed by the time we reached around 10pm. So we had to call them up. Luckily they arrived shortly after 5mins to check us in. Scary....thot we will be without a room for the night...
Been the longest day of my life.......

US trip Aug 2019

It’s been more than 5 years since I went to the US and like last time, we went to Seattle to check out the lavender festival in Sequim.
The first day was spent mostly in the plane. It was the longest Saturday of my life, from boarding the plane at 9am and reaching SFO at 9am on the same day again due to the time difference. 



After reaching SFO, we still have to pass through immigration, take out our luggage and check in again for our second flight from SFO to Seattle.


Upon reaching Seattle, we went to pick up our rental car from Thrifty and drove to Point Defiance Park to play Pokémon community day. It happened to be ralts community day and we only have 1.5 hrs left by the time we reached the park.
