Seattle is beautiful this time of year....




I don't care what people say about Seattle it is very beautiful this time of year....cold weather and all. So mom and I decided it would be nice to get away together and she's always complaining that she doesn't get the opportunity to use our timeshare so she got a free trip. Even though we staied at the time share we didn't technically "use" it beacuse we didn't have to use our points so I guess that means we'll have to go again! ;) Bummer, huh mom?


Mom and I had a great time together! Let me just say that it is so NICE to have a GPS in the car! We went to all sorts of cool shops and had a great dinner at a restaurant called 13 Coins....BEST steak I've had in a very long time! We did quite a bit of shopping which included 2 mattresses (memory foam) and a night stand for my room. Needless to say the car was packed and there was no way to get anything else in or out of it for that matter.


We also visited a place I used to live in the Snohomish area. I couldn't believe that we even found the house and school. When we got to the school I asked them if they had any yearbooks from way way way back when I would have attended there. No luck with the yearbook but they did have a class picture! I'm the one on the left side incase you couldn't tell. Sorry for the quality of the picture I had to take a picture of a picture because in this little podunk town they didn't have a scanner or a color copier at the school! Come on people join this century!


We were also able to visit with our long time friends lovingly refered to as Unca David and Auntie Lulu. Aunt Lulu has always been short but I'm now taller then she is! She says it's not much of a challenge to get to her height. ;)


All and all we staied in Seattle for 2 nights and 3 days. I've included some pics - of course!


now...off to the Midwest!
