Day 1: Downtown Seattle
So we haven't started the road trip yet, but we've kicked off our trip in good ol' Seattle. I lived here in '80-'83; a lot of things have changed, some things haven't changed a bit.
We met my wonderful Flickr friend {machel spence} and her family (beautiful India, too!), which was a blast. Did a lot of geek talk; talked about our kids' education; Machel gave us a couple of her *spectacular* mushroom pictures, and Shingo got a butterfly on a mount!! We were sorry we couldn't spend more time together, but Machel promised to take me to Mt. Rainier the next time we visit. Cool. We just need to make that like next month :-D
