Beautiful in Seattle

Mom and I had a wonderfull time in "SUNNY" Seattle. We saw Mt. Rainier two of the three days we were there and flew buy it on the way home. Laura's wedding was great. We got to see family and friends that came to B&B's wedding two years ago. Sunday we attended Overlake Christian Church. This was the church where the BCC changes were conceived. A wonderful service. We also went whale watching. And did we see the whales. They were everywhere. Ruffles was the oldest whale in the pod and they said he was 54 years old. I am not sure it that is correct or just a tourist thing. It took us 45 minutes out to see our first whale. The day b4 it took them 2 hours to see the first whale.
We also saw where Norm's Washington sweatshirt came from. I have to say that the Husky football stadium is quite ugly compared to the big house.
On the 4th we did Seattle downtown and saw the Marketplace. Billie found the Left Handed store I was looking for. Tom was the only one to buy something from the store and he is right handed. He bought a gift for a left handed friend. That evening we attended the fire works on Lake Washington and had at least three sets of fire works to watch. Becky's brother-in-law Kurt works on Lake Washington at a resort/office complex so we went there to see the fireworks out on the pier.

All in all it was a great trip. Wish the family on our side could be with the family on the Ylvisacker side. Hope I spelled that right.

God bless everyone and we'll see W&S this weekend and J&A in August. A, not sure when we'll see you. B&B, thank you for a great weekend. Hope to see you soon. But love you all.

Wow, a left-handed store. I wish I would've known. Little Aaron's left-handed. That's hilarious, "Tom's the only one who bought something, and he's right-handed." Sounds like a lovely trip.
