Awake: 6:33am Temp 53 sleep 6+46 rain most of day overnight @ Everett,
WA.
En route to visit Nick & family, we stopped @ the Sprint Store @ University Village & priced an air card for the Apple computer; too expensive! Right around the corner is a State Liquor store so we also checked out their prices.

I brought both of our computers with us today; Nick is more than willing to transfer most of our old Dell data to the new Apple computer. Jerry was napping when we arrived but, shortly afterwards, had to be awakened & taken to per-school.

When Nick returned, both Kathy & I, with Nick's help, personalized our computer. Soon after that experience, Nick got busy using his computer & our Dell computer to transferred loads of: e-mail, photos, documents, a few movies, etc, onto the Apple.

@ 4:00pm, Eriko picked Jerry up from pre-school; he entered the condo singing merrily & smiling. We played a little with the marble structure that Nick & Jerry had built earlier & then, I noticed a "Star" stamped on his hand. I asked Jerry: "what is that for?" "Because I was a good boy," he replied. Upon hearing his explanation we all applauded & verbally praised him. I thought that was neat...he wasn't going to tell us, we had to find out for ourselves.

Dinner @ Julia's Restaurant, about (3) blocks away. K & I shared a Sausage Penne.

Next, Nick drove us thru downtown Seattle to the Boeing Field & the Museum of Flight. Zack & Katie would join us later as Katie is working late tonight.

Kathy & I toured this Museum over (20) yrs ago when it was only one building, called: "The Red Barn." Since then, (3) extra sections have been added to the little Red Barn.
Tonight is "free night" & the museum is crowded. K & I tried to keep up with Nick & Jerry so I could get a few photos with Jerry in an airplane....but it was not to be; Jerry is too quick & on the go.

Kathy & I were finishing up touring the last section on WWII aircraft when Katie & Zack arrived. They didn't have much time as the museum will close @ 9:00pm...so we encouraged them to explore on their own & see as much as they could.

Later we caught up with the gang @ the WWI section where Nick & Zack were competing while flying a simulated Sopwith Camel. They scored points when the aircraft's machine gun was lined up on the enemy. Zack outscored Nick on his second turn, but Nick only got one turn.

This airplane nut (that's me) is most appreciated for making this museum visit a delightful experience. So, "thank you Nick, Eriko & Jerry" for the really good show!

Back @ the condo, I left both of our computers with Nick so that he might continue transferring data throughout the night.

Late evening movie: "Story of Three Loves." We watched ½.

Lights out: 12:18am.
