This picture is an oldie but goodie. Plus it is the only one of them that I have on hand. At the end of this month Mimi's good friend Samantha and her family will be making the trek up here to Washington for a short 3 day weekend over Memorial Day. Mama wishes they could stay just a wee bit longer. Oh well, she will take what she can.
We really do hope that Katie and her family could come for a visit one day too. We really miss them a lot. All they have to do call to make sure we are home, then just show up (we really do mean that. It's no joke). That goes for the rest of our friends and family too.
We got a bit of good news from the weatherman last night. We are expected to have 80 degree weather in a couple of weeks. The weather here now is cloudy. It has not rained much yet but the weather here changes frequently so who knows what will happen.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate because mama has plans for them. This is her idea and papa always agrees to her ideas. Smart man, that's why I married him.
Here's the plan that is subject to change at anytime. They will arrive on Fri. evening. We will just relax at home. Sat. morning we will have breakfast at Black Diamond Bakery then go on to the Northwest Trek (Washington's wildlife park. It can also be found on the internet). On the way home (close to dinner time) we will stop at Wally's for an old fashion burger. This place still has car hops and a small park so that one can eat outside if they feel like it. Plus the burgers are very good and papa gets his blackberry malt. They also have a kids menu too. By the time we head for home, mama is quite sure the girls will fall asleep in the car. Mimi alway does. We will probably arrive home around 7:30 pm.
Sun. we will do the tourist thing. Have breakfast at home then on to downtown Seattle where we will go to the Space Needle. Mimi has not been there yet so I'm quite sure the girls will get a kick out of that. Then we can go to Pike's Place Market and Cutter's restaurant or vice versa.
Mon. after breakfast we can take the girls to Lake Wilderness and drive around "funky town".
Sometime in the afternoon our neighborhood is planning a BBQ.
That's All Folks!!!
sounds great! can we go on the monorail when we are at the space needle? we loves the monorails...
ReplyDeletesounds like a good idea! dottie ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe monorail works great because the monorail terminal downtown is near the Pike Place Market so we could park downtown and take the monorail to the space needle and back (or vice versa). I also haven't ridden the monorail since I was a kid so it would be fun!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you guys too, and think of you often.
