Since the kids up here in the Northwest are on Spring break, mama who is feeling a bit better but completely lost her voice has decided to take Mimi to downtown Seattle for lunch with papa. Papa's office is located on the 24th floor with windows that go clear around the whole building. From his office one can get a great view of Seattle. Mama tried to get a picture of Mimi and papa with the Q-West (quest) field in the background. That's where the Seahawks play their home games. The other pictures of Mimi and papa in front of the two model buildings are the ones that papa is working on at this present time.
Next on the agenda was lunch at the great Italian place across the street from the office. Mama is currently experiencing a senior moment and cannot for the life of her remember the name of the place. The food there is absolutely to die for. Unfortunately mama forgot to take pictures of the food unlike her friend Princess Teri. None the less we dined on dungeoness crab salad, smoked salmon ravioli and mac 'n' cheese (their own private recipe).
Finally no trip to downtown Seattle is made without stopping at Uwajimaya Asian Market.
Upon arriving home, mama heard on the news that the emissary for the Dalai Lama was in Seattle and we missed him. Doggone it!!!
