Awake: 7:18am Temp 46 sleep 7+00 off & on rain heavy @ times overnight @
Everett, WA.

After breakfast, K & I went grocery shopping to support the early Thanksgiving turkey day we've decided to do on Sunday; visiting Trader Joe's, Costco & Safeway. Also our forwarded mail arrived today from Alaska.

With the groceries properly stored in our M.H., we motored to Queen Anne Hill thru rain so heavy we missed our regular turn-off ramp & added an extra mile to our destination.

I spent some time playing with Jerry & a different marble structure that Nick & Jerry built earlier this morning. Later, the rain let up so Nick, Jerry, Kathy & I walked to the nearby playground so Jerry could use up some of his high energy.

Nick, using his computer, continues to transfer data from our old Dell computer to our new Apple computer. He's pretty sure he'll be finished with the process later today.

Next, the (5) of us caught the city bus to the Science Center, walked to the I-Max Theater where Eriko, Zack, Nathan, Kathy & I, along with about (400) Isilon employees, watched the 3-D movie: "A Christmas Carol." This was Isilon's treat to their employees for supporting this movie by using (114) nodes built by Isilon which required a huge amount of digital storage space.

Upon entering the theater, we were each handed 3-D glasses to wear & were given a voucher for a huge bag of popcorn or candy with a choice of sodas.

The Disney digital movie was like no other; the up-close people scenes were so realistic & close enough to touch. I kept wondering how they could do this. Nick sacrificed not seeing the movie by taking Jerry to the nearby Children's Museum as children were not allowed at this showing; such a thoughtful father. It was not a movie for a (3) yr old to see, some very wild & scary scenes for a little guy!

Afterward, we had no ready transportation as our bus pass had run out...but Nate, realizing that, volunteered to take us in his borrowed car back to Nick's condo.

From the Nick family condo, Zack & I walked about (10) min to the Olympia pizza Spaget for a take out pizza, which was quite good. We sat around & gabbed for awhile & when Jerry fell asleep, we took it as our cue to drive back to the campground, dropping Zack @ his rental house along the way.

We continue watching: "Story of Three Loves." Another ΒΌ.

Lights out: 1:18am
