I made it. Did get a window - and it was very pretty flying weather. I was glad I stayed in Puyallup the night before, though - the roads were pretty icy and it would have been scary trying to drive up in a hurry.
Been pretty stressful so far, but I guess we knew it would be. Lots of standing in the middle of a bunch of people who are all talking about shared experiences that don't make any sense unless you were there. And I'm too old to be part of one group and too young to mix with parents...or so it feels. I guess it's a city folk versus not kind of thing, too. I'm not and never have been a party gal, either. Oh well.
And there may not be any sightseeing time at all...today would have been the day to do stuff, and it was arranged that we meet ANSWER grandmother (the communist one, that is) for lunch. I realize we don't get many opportunities to see her or she us...I'm just kinda disappointed, that's all.
Is I bitter or what? ;-) On the plus side, da niece was a perfect angel on the trip and kept us all entertained, the motel is simple but nice, we had good food last night, and we get pizza for lunch, probably. Mmmm...pizza.
I'm so glad you made it ok!
Your weather is fixin' to hit us.
Ah - well, too bad about the lack of sight-seeing time, at least try to take a cab ride down to the waterfront, and ride a streetcar this afternoon!
Your pooch is just fine, sleepin' on the couch, taking some runs outside, trying to get the other dogs to play with him, the usual :~)
Make sure you buy some sourdough bread while you're there!
City folks are just weird. Nice, often, but weird... we were visiting some friends over Thanksgiving who live in Chicago and it was just odd how even conversative types get funny when they live in a city. Like thinking that living "off the grid" is A. really difficult and B. really noble.
