Mom's Trip to Washington (Alone)

Darlene took me to see Neil Diamond in concert. He's still got it!

This is the hotel we stayed at in downtown Seattle. We stayed on the top floor in a 2 bedroom suite. The view was spectacular. (see below)


The wonderful view of Seattle.

Thank goodness for timers on cameras. We had just returned from a massage and shopping.

Happy hour in our hotel room.

My visit with Cousin Michele

The last week of September I flew to Seattle for a few "days off". I landed on Monday and Dar met me at the airport. We ran a few errands and went home to see her family. She has a Kendyll too. That's where our sweetie got her name. That night we went to a great Washington restaurant, The Keg. We always try to eat there when we visit. The following day I got to ride along as she did the school drop off and went to lunch. That afternoon I drove to Snohomish to visit my cousin. She and her love Don have lived up there for a good while. My aunt Sandy (her Mom) lives there too. Aunt Sandy made me a great bowl of chili and we got to catch up for a few hours. On Wednesday we dropped off the kids and headed into Seattle. We went to a great spa and had massages, then did a bit of shopping. We went back to our hotel for Happy Hour and then rode the monorail to the Key Arena to see "the one and only" Neil Diamond. We had a blast...danced, sung off key and shed a few tears remembering my beautiful Mom. (she loved Neil). I flew home rejuvenated on Thursday and was so happy to see my kids and Ken.
