Awake 6:50am Partly cloudy Overnight @ Seattle, WA
K & I have a complimentary breakfast downstairs....then walk over to the
Sea-Tac terminal, board the # 194 bus for downtown Seattle & get off @ 4th
Ave & Pine St.
Visit Ken's Camera & talk about extra rechargeable batteries for our
digital camera. Bob questions me about how much potential milli-amp
battery am I looking for! "Gosh, I don't know but I'll find out & drop by
here tomorrow" I tell him.
Then...to kill time, we make a brief stop @ the Nordstrom Rack where we
both buy some socks. Next, using our bus transfer,we travel past Seattle
Center to Mercer St in the Queen Anne area, walk West for 10 min to the
Isilon company & who do we see walking out of the building: Nick & Zack.
We had planned on a 12:00 noon rendezvous but we were 2 min late!
Nick was expecting us to rent a car so he told Eriko she would be picked
up for lunch. Luckily Zack had his Camry nearby & we all rode up the Queen
Anne hill, picked up Eriko & rode back to Mercer St for lunch @ a Thai
restaurant call: "Phuket." The boys look great, Eriko is feeling better, &
the Thai meals were very good.
We begin making plans for dinner but Zack informs us of his racketball
commitment after 6:00pm so he won't be able to join us. Meanwhile, K & I
ask Zack if we could spend sometime this afternoon in his apartment using
his computer.... & he agrees. His keys however, will have to be picked up
from us after his tourmenent game at N & E's condo. The boys then return
to their respective jobs @ Isilon....& we walk with Eriko back up to their
Queen Anne condo.
Next K & I walk back to town & Zack's apartment(45 min)....stopping along
the way to buy 2 bottles of wine @ Safeway. During my hr of computer time,
Kathy thoroughly cleans Zack's stove top. During Kathy's hr of computer
time, I made sure that Zack's 2 fat cats were getting a good exercise
workout by using the fishing rod, mouse on a string playtime method.
Then....it's walk back up the Queen Anne hill again(45 min) & visit with
Nick & Eriko in their condo. We have a little wine (not Eriko) with our
social time....then walk over to the "5 Spot" restaurant for dinner @
8:00pm. Kathy & I share a salmon & shrimp patty dinner.
Back to the E & N condo...Zack calls to visit & get his house keys....
Nick checks the bus schedule on his computer & we ask Zack if he would
drop us off @ 2nd & Pike for our bus ride to Sea-Tac terminal on the way
to his apartment....of course he will & he also offered to drive us to
Sea-Tac but the bus is simple & works great. We are back in our hotel @
10:10pm. We will rendezvous with our Seattle family again tomorrow for
lunch.
Lights out: 11:17pm
