Seattle!

I am in Seattle!  What am I doing here?  I flew here with my sister and her son, daughter in law and their two daughters.  My brother's daughter, Molly, is here too.

We all met up at the hotel and went sightseeing, mostly back seat touring,  Some walking too.

We stopped to meet the Freemont Troll, and we went to the amazing Seattle public library, an amazing piece of architecture and an amazing library as well.

We are here for two days, then on to a family reunion in McMinnville, Oregon.  Also a chance to touch base with my three kids who live here.

All in all a great trip.  Lots to do, people to re-connect with.   Nostalgia as we reminisce about our fathers (my dad was one of 5 sons).    

Meanwhile, here's the view from the hallway in our hotel:
