Driving to <br />Seattle from Everett had never been so quick. No one seemed to be on the freeway. BUT, <br />once we left the freeway and entered downtown Seattle, it was a mess. It took us 1 ½ hours <br />within this mess in downtown Seattle to get around it. We had to drive down to the stadiums <br />and then drive back up on the waterfront in order to get to Pike Place Market to meet our <br />friends from North Carolina, who were leaving on an Alaskan cruise the next day. <br /> <br />During that very slow, 1 ½ hour, congested drive, we saw a huge number of Exhibitionists up- <br />close and personal. <br /> <br />Definition: <br />noun: exhibitionist; plural noun: exhibitionists <br />1. <br />a person who behaves in an extravagant way in order to attract attention. <br />"I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and attention seeker"
