Seattle is a beautiful city. I could be happy living there. It did not feel like a big city, rather a small town sort of place. The sky was blue, sail boats decorated Puget Sound and Mount Rainier hovered over the city like a protective warrior. Dennis's baby brother Bob lives in Seattle. He spent the day giving us a personal guided tour of his adopted hometown.
The morning was spent browsing through the Public Market. We watched as fish flew through the air from seller to buyer and admired the colorful produce and flowers. I sampled curds at Beecher's cheese and enjoyed a cup of coffee from the original Starbucks.
We ate lunch at Lowells restaurant in the market, overlooking Puget Sound. Part of Sleepless in Seattle was filmed in this little cafe. It was such fun to visit with Bob and catch up on family stories.
We ended our afternoon with Bob on top of the Space Needle. Spectacular views!
In the evening we met Lorraine and her family for dinner. The food at Etta's was fabulous(prepared by Seattle's famed chef, Tom Douglas!) The conversation was delightful. It is so much fun to spend some face to face time with blog friends!
Tomorrow I'll continue my story and tell you about my brand new family in Fort Lewis.

It's amazing you had so much sun in Seattle!
Seems like you lucked out with the weather. Looks like a fun trip.
I would love to see Seattle someday...and isn't Rainey (Lorraine) the best?? *smiles*
I'm a little jealous of that last picture. Forgive me.
