A Fine Seattle Day

I was very lucky to have a day out in Seattle. My buddy Jon drove us all the way from Portland (about a six hour round trip) so that I could check out Seattle while I am 'in the hood'.

We had a fabulous day checking out Pike Place Market

eating fish and chips

Taking a ride to the top of the Space Needle

Check out those snow covered mountains behind me.
It gave me such delight to see them in all their majestic glory.


My buddy Jon.
We haven't seen each other for over 6 years but it's as if no time has passed at all.
Don't you love those kind of friendships?


Found this little gem. You know how I love to find a little 'Message from the Universe'. I particularly like the way I accidentally captured the words 'any time' as well.

So, that's Seattle.

Tomorrow I'm going to check out downtown Portland and see what I find. Stay tuned for that, and for a post about the gorgeous little lady of the house here in Portland.

Today, I'm having a pajama day. Catching up with myself and with you. Only 3 sleeps till I head home now. I can't believe it.

  2. Thanks for sharing snippets of your adventure; it looks like you are having a great time. I love the way the universe is chasing you down – half way around the world to let you know to have fait in yourself. I think you will need to print that one out for your work space when you get home!

  6. I'm ever curious as to what people thing and feel when they see bits like these, and also where they come from - whoever wrote it, what were they thinking and feeling at the time?

    Sounds like you're having a fantastic time. :)
