Hi everyone! We had a great time in Seattle. It was fun to be with the Clark's. I arrived Wednesday night and joined Michele and the girls. Thursday, we helped organize Laurie's storage room. I hope she can find everything.
Abe and I played Racquetball and the rest went bowling. The Clark's treated us to a wonderful Teriyaki dinner at their favorite House of Teriyaki. It was delicious food. We also enjoyed watching a dorky movie called the Prince and Me, the honeymoon. It was a beautiful day in Seattle on Thursday. Friday found us enjoying the sites of Seattle. We enjoyed going to Pikes Place, checking out the cruise departure sites (Yes, we couldn't help but take a peek at where we will be departing from in August). We enjoyed looking around at all the little shops. It is amazing how artsy Seattle is. It is a fun town and I never tire of going to Pike's Place. It is so fun to see the street musicians and see the beautiful flower shops, the vegetable stands, the meat and fish markets. We bought some fun pasta, flavored oils, a beautiful bouquet, a fun sand and water art, some fun tee shirts and a sweatshirt for Laurie that says, "Seattle Rain Festival - From January 1st to December 31st." We know how much Laurie dislikes the rain so this made her smile. Plus it will help keep her warm. We made our trip to Ujimayas for some good ole Sushi ingredients. This time we also bought 10 different kinds of Brats at the local meat market. Friday night found us eating a very delicious German meal of Sauerkrat and brats with Gary's delicious red potatoes. After dinner we watched another dorky but enjoyable movie called the Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Saturday was the commencement of the Rain Festival in Lacey as it rained the entire day. It was cold and even snowed most of the time. We went to a movie up on the base at Fort Lewis (Pink Panther 2) We enjoyed the movie. It was very funny. Okay maybe a little dorky too. :-) We enjoyed a night of sushi. It was a lot of fun. I hope the Sushi is always a hit. We downed all the sushi. I enjoy doing it. We enjoyed some card games and then it was off to bed. Our time went way to fast. We flew home today and arrived safely after having to have the plane de-iced in Spokane. The winds in Boise have been so crazy today. Our plane was bouncing all over the place as we landed in Boise. It was nice to be on the ground. Although even driving home from the airport gave us some excitement as the wind would catch our van and push us over into the next lane. Karlo did a great job of keeping it on the road.
Okay, that is our update. Our next big adventure is Derek's graduation in April. We are excited for him. Only four months to the Cruise! We are getting excited. It was fun to see the ships in the waters around Seattle.
Enjoy the pictures!
