Seattle Trip

- December 19, 2016

Hello there. This is Bob here. Back in early November I had the opportunity to travel to Seattle for work. It was a great opportunity to see if my mother wanted to tag along. And as expected, she was in!! Also, my sister Robyn lives just outside of Seattle, so it worked out perfectly to get to spend a couple days with her. We spent the first day checking out Edmonds, WA. What a cool area right along the Puget Sound. We spent time walking around near the pier watching the harbor seals and jellyfish. Robyn then took us to a fantastic restaurant right on the water where they were serving all you can eat jumbo prawns. It was just like all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster, but 10 times bigger and better. The full day we had with Robyn is one I will never forget. She planned a trip where we took the ferry out to the San Juan Islands and explored all day long. The ferry ride was gorgeous. It was exactly what you would expect being on the water in the Pacific Northwest in November. Cloudy with a consistent mist, about 40 some degrees, and beautiful scenery surrounding us. It was what I was hoping we would get to experience.

It was about a 40 minute ferry ride into the docks at San Juan Island. Little chilly, but worth standing outside to soak in the trip.

We then jumped into our car and drove off the ferry in route to the Alpaca Farm.

Then Robyn wanted to check out a lavender farm. Who knew they had so many uses for lavender...

A couple other stops.

Nightfall was creeping up. Time to head back to our ferry.

Look close, you can see the Cascade Mountain Range in the background.

What an incredible couple days with my sister Robyn. Wish we could have spent a couple more days exploring her area, but I was back to reality and had to head to Seattle for work. I had a straggler that came along with me.
