Seattle is alive with sunshine! So the city really is surrounded by mountains! After a riverfront run for Bill, and a long, city-dog-walk for K, we met at a sidewalk cafe for breakfast and planned the day. Off to the Boeing factory in Everett to view the production of 747, 777 and 787 jets. It was an awesome tour. While waiting in line at the Apple Store a couple days ago, we befriended a fellow who made one recommendation for our stay in Seattle: enjoy a meal at the Tamarind Tree restaurant in the International District. So after the Boeing tour we found the restaurant on our GPS (think of travel before the convenience of handheld GPS) and had an amazing Vietnamese lunch. Back at the hotel we learned that the parking garage crashed in our Thule rooftop carrier. Opps. While Bill dealt with that inconvenience, I made travel arrangements for Billy to go to Victoria, BC to visit his girlfriend's family. For our last evening in Seattle, Bill and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, a day early, by dining at Canlis. Knowing Seattle was on our summer travel agenda, the Herman's prearranged a celebratory dinner for us at one of Seattle's finest restaurants. It was a very generous and thoughtful gift, for which we were very grateful. The dinner was really terrific, and the view and service equally impressive. It was memorable day in so many ways.
