The Emerald City; Part One.

We took Keegan, Nicky and Amelia to McCord air force base so they could fly home to Oklahoma on a C-17. First we took a little detour to one of my favorite places, Seattle. I love so much about the Emerald city; it's weather, Pikes Place, the waterfront and the fact it's full of liberals like me.

Many wonderful world changing things have come from this area such as Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and my favorite fashion..the Grunge look!

Here's a look at Seattle through my eyes. But first of all here's Brad and me with Elliot Bay behind us.

Welcome to Seattle's Waterfront. That's the Seattle Aquarium on the right.

which turned out to be seaweed...it was getting dark and my eyes are not what they used to be.

Plants growing in unusual places always get my attention.

I wish our climate in Eastern Washington was as mild.
