Okay, not in my experience. But that song, from a TV show I used to watch called "Here Come the Brides" was in my head all weekend.
Here's the rest of the song, as I remember it ---
...and the hills, the greenest green, in Seattle.
ike a beautiful child, growing up free and wild.
Full of hopes and full of fears,
Full of laughter, full of tears,
Full of laughter, full of tears,
Full of dreams to last the years,
In Seattle,
in Seattle.
in Seattle.
Well, we went to visit Maestro last weekend. It was wonderful. I was looking forward to seeing the Space Needle...
and the first Starbucks...
and the fish throwers and Pike Place Market. Sorry, no photos of that. I was very disappointed that not a single fish was thrown in my presence. However, what I really wanted to see was my son.
So I wasn't disappointed at all!
We had dinner together Friday after he got home from work. Then on Saturday we went sight-seeing. We got in touch with our inner geek (okay, not so inner) at the SciFi Museum & Hall of Fame. We went to the Experience Music Project connected to that. It was cool and I learned how to drum. The only problem with that place was the Jimi Hendrix movie. Wow. Never was a fan. Never will be. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Since it was raining -- what! -- and very limited visibility, the guys didn't go up the Space Needle as planned. I wasn't planning on it, myself.
Then we went to Pike Place Market. It was fun. Maestro & I walked around for an hour (okay, I'm exaggerating) while Poppy found a parking space.
Sunday, Maestro got a haircut for my birthday. No more Sasquatch look. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
The rest of the day we just chilled. Maestro came back with us to our hotel and we swam & sat in the hot tub, then watched Liar, Liar. It was very reminiscent of old times. Then we went back to the apartment.
Oh, I haven't mentioned P.T.! The following pictures are ALL of him, I think :) P.T. is Maestro's Miniature Pinscher and he's a wonderful dog! Well, puppy. He's 8 months old. He took to Poppy very quickly and to me a little more slowly, but he loves us both now.
P.T. also loves his roommate Kitty.
Here's what else the weather had in store:
Yeah, that's snow. The news said that since they've been keeping records, there have only been 4 days in April when it snowed. They added 2 more while we were there. Go figure. We also set a record for the coldest high temperature. It only hit 45 for a high, and the previous record was 47.
Monday we went to lunch with Maestro and then went to a park that was pretty close to the airport. We didn't have to be there till 6:30, but we didn't want to be driving there at rush hour. The sun actually came out that day.
So there ya go. It was a great time.
