Mom and mine's (grammatically incorrect?) one day round trip extravaganza to Seattle and back was a total blast. But Mom about wore me out. My feet are still recovering.
I don't think I've ever had a day like that. Peter dropped us off at the airport at 5:00 AM. He picked us back up at 10:45 PM. The intervening hours included 4 hours of air travel and airport time,
a 45 minute bus ride via public transit through a dicey area of Seattle to downtown (after that one, Mom was banned for the rest of the day from making any further decisions on the transportation front), lunch at the always fabulous Cafe Campagne, Mom's introduction to Fluevog Shoes (she's hooked), hiking back from REI, carpet shopping down in Pioneer Square, a book stocking-up expedition to Elliot Bay Books (one of the two great book stores on the West Coast), and finally finishing everything off with a mango daquiri, great eats, and the ultimate topper, a satay separator at Wild Ginger. And then the three hour trip back home.
Whew!!!!!
Pictures to follow tomorrow.
