We had the best time in Seattle; the very best. The weather was welcoming and warm for us, and Kay and Harold are the consummate hosts. Conversing with them as we ate their excellent meals was one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip. Having Grandma Nelson visiting with us too made us feel like the luckiest Spring Break-ers in the world!

So Gabe (my 3-year-old) is really jealous of this vacation. "What is that building? Why is it so pretty? Why can't we go there?" By the way, I want to visit that library--WOW. I am so glad you guys had a fun family trip--and very grateful you didn't fall off the space needle. My vertigo makes me nervous for you, even just looking at the pictures. Thank you, thank you for coming back down afterwards . . .
I had to dip over here, though I usually limit myself to light, because once having talked to those children, I am compelled to secure a hit of them every so often. I told Gin, I'd line up at five in the morning to be related to those kids.
