Family Fun

We made a day-trip-escape to Seattle last week to celebrate Nick's 27th birthday (really?!) & have an oh-so-brief, but fun, afternoon together.  Once again we took the light rail down & back--which makes for a stress free & full day, all the while missing the commute & $4/gallon gas! 

Turns out, the trick to not getting poured on all day is to carry an umbrella everywhere (something Puget Sounders are loathe to do...) & never have to open it!   8-)    Who knew?

Isn't this mural great? It's painted on a particle board temporary wall, so it won't be around long, but the colors are just wonderful! (this is just a small corner of a huge painting...) It's near the famous little hole-in-the-wall, Salumi Restaurant, that's been on the 'gotta do' list for years. We started our progressive lunch there--being amazed at the variety of handcrafted salami. Yum!!
Jim & I also had an early morning walk-through of the amazing exhibit of the Seattle Metals Guild at the Convention Center  (they have such great free art exhibits there). This exhibit runs to July--go check it out if you're in the neighborhood.
Happy Birthday, Nick!
