Seattle, WA

I’m coming home! I’m happy to say I’ll be in Seattle in just a couple of weeks. I can’t wait. Elliott’s Oyster House, here I come! We’ll spend a week in the Yakima Valley and a week in Seattle. Right now I’m trying to talk my mother into coming for the week in Seattle. She’s never been but has often expressed a desire to visit Seattle. I’m already planning out all the places I’d like to take her.

Ah, if only I were there this weekend I would certainly hit this event:
