Just learned some good news. Our home computer is back online! Also we have located the missing box of cold weather items we had mailed to ourselves. We should be reunited later today.
We have had many adventures over the last week, I'll just try to hit some of the really memorable points.
Tues, 10/30 - Karen and the kids went to the Woodlands Zoo and then we met near UW to visit one of our favorite author/poets Jack Prelutzky at a bookstore. Here's a picture with Jack. The bookstore has had a lot of famous guests we recognized who drew on their walls.
Wed, 10/31 - We had a great time trick-or-treating in our neighborhood! Nice and spooky weather for it. Also had a fun dress up party at my work where I went as El Diablo Doctor.
Thurs, 11/1 - The kids and I had our first sushi conveyer belt experience at Sushiland, near my office. These type of restaurants are relatively common here. What a blast to watch all the marching sushi and pick and choose what loots good!
Fri, 11/2 - In the meantime, K and the kids are taking in the sights. They have been hitting all the libraries, several museums, and parks. This day they saw a giant squid exhibit at the Burke Museum on the UW campus.
Sat, 11/3 - After a walk to our local Supercut for Oliver and to our local Safeway to replenish supplies, we went to Bellevue's Crossroads Mall. Here we ate Russian food at my vote for "Best Food Court in the World" award.
Sun, 11/4 - K dropped us off at the Pacific Science Center this morning (She attended a pretty amazing service at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral). We finished our tour there and then hit various points around town; Pike Place Market, UW campus, Gasworks Park (for sunset), and Ivar's Salmon House for supper. What an awesome Seattle day!
