Trip to Seattle

Took off for Seattle on Saturday morning at 10am. Stopped in Moses Lake for breakfast and a round of disc golf. Got to Jerry’s son house which is in the Queen Ann area of Seattle at 4:30pm. Jerry’s son has a view from his balcony of the Seattle Space Needle and all the high rise buildings. It’s a gorgeous site. Went to dinner at a place called “Wild Ginger” which was fantastic Asian food and atmosphere.

Sunday we went to a park called Lakewood and watched a disc golf tournament. It’s the first I have attended. I was amazed at how well the professionals played. Was a nice weather day too considering it rained all day before. Nice sunshine and warmth.

Sunday eve we met up with Jerry’s sister Judy and her husband. They live in Seattle also. Had a couple of beers with them then went down a few blocks and met Jerry’s brother Bruce (yes, he also lives in Seattle) for dinner.

I do know that I wouldn’t be able to survive living in Seattle. Too many people, too small a streets, horrific trying to find a parking space and when you do it’s all metered parking. You put money into a central machine on the block and it prints out a ticket that you have to stick on your side window of the car. I am so lost most of the time I couldn’t tell you where I went.

Monday we played a round of disc golf with Jerry’s son then headed for home around 1:30pm. We took one wrong turn off the freeway and it took an hour to find our way back on again. Seeeee what I mean???? Lost lost lost! I just got more stressed out as time went by. I wanted out of the crowded city fast.

After we made it back on the freeway heading home (thank God) we made a side trip to Pothole Reservoir which is below Moses Lake near Royal City. Was a beautiful drive with just open farmland for miles. We got home around 8pm. I can say I had a nice time but won’t be going back to Seattle for awhile.
