Granny Visited Seattle

About two weeks ago, David's grandma made a stop in Seattle before heading off for an Alaskan cruise with her neighbor. It was great to see her and exciting to show our house off to her.

David had to work both days so I was the entertainment... She arrived on Thursday afternoon, and I picked her up at the hotel. We had lunch and headed south toward the house we made a stop in Olympia at the Capital Building. Next we headed to the house... she was very impressed. She couldn't get over the ceiling in the great room. We waited for David to get home so she could see the second floor. We went to dinner and just enjoyed our visit.

Friday, I met up with Granny and Mona Lou for a bus tour of Seattle... According to them, I was the only reason they were allowed to go without one of Mona Lou's daughters... meaning I was the 'babysitter'. As you'd expect, the bus passengers were mostly comprised of the older generations. Although I've lived her over a year and visited the city several times, I learned some stuff and tried to look and listen for interesting things to share with future visitors... For example, the outside of the hospital in Grey's Anatomy is an insurance building across the street from the Space Needle. Pretty cool! Here's some pictures I took from west Seattle and Queen Anne Hill.

After the bus tour, Mona Lou went on a second tour (without a 'babysitter') and Granny and I sat in traffic on the way to meet David. The most annoying things about Seattle vs. St. Louis: the traffic! With one highway, it's horrible.

Not the most exciting post, but that's what we've been up to lately... I'll be back in STL at the end of the week. Looking forward to seeing the Cubs play the Cardinals, spending time with my friends and family, and experiencing actual summer... Some days I miss the heat.
