Well the yard is caught back up from it's 2 weeks of being ignored, more laundry done, groceries bought and now 16 less scorpions( a new record) in our back yard so it's on to more pictures ....
We arrived in Seattle a couple hours ahead of the Mississippi crew. Low gray clouds and rain greeted us, I'm hearing that is the norm. After Jeremy and Jamie arrived and hugs were had all around we loaded all our suitcases into a mini van that Jeremy had arranged for and off we went to see some of Seattle. It was so great to see J&J !
We headed first to Pikes market and got to see some of the beautiful flowers and vegetables displayed. As Chris calls it, it's one big garage sale with vendors selling all kinds of stuff. I had no idea they hauled and set up their wares every day ! What alot of work.
It was closing time so they were already icing up the fish so we didn't see any flying thru the air but we got the hang of what Pikes Market is known for.
We headed south then to Tacoma where we had rooms at McChord AFB, of course it stays light forever so it was about 9 when we pulled in after a yummy dinner at Olive Garden. They have a wonderful static display of all the planes that have flown out of there, it was huge and we enjoyed walking around them at dusk. 
McCord is a C17 base so it was so neat to see those huge planes flying again. We then pulled over to the runway and watched some as they were practicing their short landings and such, it was fun to have Jeremy telling us exactly what they were doing and why as they came in to land and take off again.
What a great day, we have one full day together in Seattle to look forward to, we were getting our fill of "green" and it's still rainy out !
Great pictures! Keep them coming!
