I know it is late, but I wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had with Denis and Ita. It was a short trip but it was great.
This is a picture from the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. We had a lovely view of the city and the mountains. There were too many clouds so they could not see the Mt Rainier not the Olympic Mountains. We too a ride on a ferry so they could get a better view of the City Seattle.
We went to Victoria in Canada. We had another Ferry Trip backcross the Straits of Juan De Fuca. If you look at a map you will Port Angeles on the Washington State side and Victoria on the Vancouver Island side. We went out to the Buchard Gardens. It was too early in the year for the tulips and the Rhododendrons. It was nice to see how a big quarry was turned into a beautiful garden. Victoria in a way is more British than England. It was long day starting out about 6:30 am and getting home about 10:00 pm.

Well this is interesting. As you all know we had an earthquake here in western Washington last week. It scared me a bit for 30 seconds or so but everything turned out well. We have a brick house. I thought we would lose all the bricks, but lucky for us we had no damage. There was damage 30 miles north of us in Seattle and 30 miles south of us in Olympia, the state Capital.
We have had a few small earthquakes here but nothing to worry about. This last one was different.
Thought you might like this picture of Curraun. I took this last October.
