Good friends are gifts from God, and gifts from good friends, are Blessings!! Our friend Mary blessed us with a vacation to Seattle, and we had such a wonderful time!!
We were invited to Seattle by a nurse/friend of ours, that we met 2 years ago when her church brought a 12 person medical team down to El Salvador. The team returned last November, with 11 people, some returned from the year before, but some were new.
When Mary asked us to come and visit her in Seattle, we thought that was really nice of her, but to be honest, we hear that from a lot of people, and aren't really sure if they mean it, or they're trying to be nice! When it came time to schedule our flight home to Ohio (we visit home once a year), we told Mary that maybe we could fly to Seattle first for a weekend, before flying on to Ohio. She told me not to come for less than 5 days, because there was so much that she wanted to show us! That's when I knew she really wanted us to come!
We were there for 1 full week, and ran ourselves ragged, from sun up to sun down, taking in all the sights that Mary had on her schedule for us! From touring Safeco Field, to driving through the neighborhoods, to eating lunch in the Space Needle, and visiting with other team members! We had the time of our lives and loved every minute of our vacation blessing! God Is So Good!
We'd like to share more pictures of where we went and what we saw in Seattle, so we'll have a Part 2 to follow.....maybe even a Part 3!
For now we'll post a couple of family snap shots and one with our friend Mary! The picture of the city with the Space Needle, shows our hotel, The Edgewater, that sits in the bay. The Beatles once stayed at this hotel and fished out of the window in their room! They don't allow fishing out of the windows any more, because people were leaving the fish lay in their rooms, and well, that doesn't make for pleasant smells! Lol!
