I've also made trip #2 out there to visit him just this past weekend.
| Mt Rainier with St Helens just beyond taken from the plane |
We took the Underground Tour of Seattle (look it up, Seattle has an interesting history!), went to Pike Place, walked the waterfront, visited the Ballard Locks (where boats go between Lake Washington and the Sound) and spent a few hrs on the rooftop terrace of my aunt and uncle's condo just blocks from the Space Needle. I didn't take any downtown pictures just because I've been there 100 times and sort of neglected my camera. But on Sunday afternoon we took a short drive out to Snoqualmie Falls which was fantastic!
The weekend went by way too fast, but it was great just to spend a little time together. We're getting closer to the 1 month mark of him being gone but it seems much longer! Our next time together will be over the 4th of July but we'll have Friday night until Tues night so it won't feel quite as short. So as of today, 9 weeks to go.....
But, I'm lucky to have lots going on to keep me busy! This week my wonderful madre comes into town for church convention! She'll be in town for about 5 days which will give me some company and help time go a little fast. Then next weekend I'm heading to New Meadows/McCall to meet my sister (from Spokane) and a few other girls. I can't wait for that because it's been about 6 months since I saw my sis, so it'll be fun times! Then...the weekend after THAT is....the 4TH! So I'm hoping time will just keep flying :)
Wow 4 weeks already! Looks like a fun weekend in Seattle. Have fun with your mom and then sis.
