Awake: 7:02am Temp 52 Partly cloudy Overnight @ Chimacum, WA
Mid morning e-mail check….then drive over to Bainbridge Island again to
catch the 2:05pm ferry to Seattle. Before boarding, I call Mark in
Anchorage & get the phone # for Mailboxes etc., then during our ferry
ride, I call & get some idea of how their mail service is handled & the
related costs.
Arrive in Seattle @ 2:45pm. From pier 52, we walk to 3rd Ave & Marion St.
which is a nice grade uphill & good exercise for us…then take the free bus
to Ken’s Camera where I was hoping to find a battery for my classic
Rolli…NOT. We make a 15 min stop @ the Nordstrom Rack to check for lower
prices in the men’s dept….not yet.
Then a 20 min walk to the bottom of Queen Anne hill (1st Ave West) & visit
our cruise specialist Mary Berry for over an hr. We give Mary some forms
that needed to be sent in & talk more in depth about the various shore
excursions available. We also meet our cruise director Ellen, who will be
on our October cruise with us. Mary Berry couldn’t help but notice us
eyeing up a fruit pie in the break room & cut us each a slice. The pie was
good & this was an interesting visit to see the cruise specialists in
operation.
Call Nick @ Isilon & arrange a 6:00pm rendezvous @ his condo. More good
exercise for us as we walk up Queen Anne hill…we have our wine time with
Nick & more talk about wedding plans before walking over to Pete’s Pizza
for dinner. Nick treats us for an early Father’s day dinner and after more
good talking, we say our goodbyes & catch the # 2 bus…at Spring we
transfer to the # 4 bus, take it to Marion St. & then walk 10 min downhill
to pier 52…wait for an hr & take the ferry back to Bainbridge…drive for an
hr & we are back to our campground around 2:00am. We took our umbrellas to
Seattle today & the Seattle sprinkles gave us good cause to use them quite
a bit.
High temp today? Lights out: 2:48am
