It’s always lovely having our parents come for a visit, but even better when we get to see them two weekends in a row. We were able to spend a couple of days with my dad & mom before they departed on their weeklong cruise to Alaska, and then one night when they sailed back in to Seattle.
I love seeing my mom & dad without months in between. It’s nice. Like living close to home.
They brought along their close friends Linda & Norm, a couple of Seattle newbies (not counting that Norm was stationed nearby here in the Navy many years ago), so we did the introductory sightseeing stops. And it seemed like I made them walk a lot, not realizing that I’m used to walking everywhere downtown and they—well— they were on a leisurely vacation, not a sprint race. Oops.
Our time was short and sweet, but I’m thankful for what time we could spend together. Maybe next time you’ll take us along with you on the cruise?? 
And even better, Todd’s parents are here this weekend, so its like 3 weeks in a row of seeing parents. Sometimes you just need a good heavy dose of family.
Thanks for the Seattle hospitality last week-its always good to spend time with both of you and enjoy the cool weather & yes we will be glad to take you on the beautiful Alaska passage sometime-wished we could have timed it to see Todd’s folks-enjoy the weekend!
So happy you spent some quality time with your parents – lucky girl! Miss you lots! Lily sends hugs and kisses!!
Did you take your guests to Piroshky’s?
Thanks for showing us around parts of Seattle.The city was an eye opener 4 a little country person like me.Your Mom & I can walk well but u know those men,Ha!!We still talk & laugh about our experience in the underground terminal.
Speaking of family coming to visit, let me know if the week-end in September will work out for me to come. I sent an e-mail but you must not have received it. Love ya, Aunt Janice
