Well after many travails in even getting to Seattle (forgotten passports, only 3 hrs sleep for me the night before, and the long flight), we got to our hotel Wednesday at about 12:30. Had a great lunch/dinner at our hotel, then did everything possible to keep awake, but finally succumbed at 5:30 PST (8:30 EST)! We awoke at 4! Boy, were we beat puppies!!! But, we were refreshed this AM. Great quiet/worship time together, then off to Denny's for a good breakfast, and we were READY. Bob Brice our Nissan guy here, picked us up, and gave us a great tour of the big city. There's lots of water, so for a big city, it's our kind of town. And those mountains, nice. So, where do you go to see those big mountains in Seattle, to the top of the Space Needle: 
Wow, that was some trip! 41 seconds to the top! And what a view! Mt Ranier to the South, Mt Hood to the North, the Cascade Mts to the East, and the Olympic Mts to the West, some show.
Had a great meal in the circling restaurant, turns 360 degrees in an hour. Breath taking! Here's a pic of the 3 of us enjoying the moment:
The most beautiful view of course is to my immediate left, but when I could steal my eyes away to look beyond Jan's brown eyes, Seattle whirled slowly beneath us.After lunch, we headed a little East, to Eastside Nissan and met our new little buddy, our new Frontier. Just what the Dr ordered! We love it and are looking forward to the rest of our trip with HokieEscape hooked up to the back!
We traveled an hour or so North to Mt. Vernon and are bedded down, looking forward to tomorrow, to see our HokieEscape, and get on with the show!
Blessings,
Dan and Jan

ReplyDeleteYour days are becoming as unpredictable as mine, although I've never been cross country with no transportation. Glad it all worked out for you guys. Will be praying for your safe travels and have a GREAT time!!! Love your sister
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure spending the day with Dan & Jan. Both were so excited to see the foothills with sharp peaks covered with snow and then the 14,000 ft high Mt Rainier sticking up like a sore thumb. Jan was especially excited. I showed them Seattle from the "Alki Beach" area and then made arrangements to take them to the top of the needle that was built for the 1962 World’s Fair. (Dan was still in high school then).Mt Baker is to the north with Rainier the first mountain to the south of Seattle followed by Mt St Helens, and Mt Hood in Oregon. Mt Adams is just to the east of St Helens.
