We left Portland right after breakfast, around 8 am to head to the Seattle area. All of our nephews on George's side of the family are visiting Madeline, our niece. So we decided to join them for a short visit. We got to Redmond in time for lunch. We walked to Bangkok Basil for Thai food. It was very good. So Madeline & Roman (her boyfriend), George, Robbie and Martin as well as George and me. Quite a crowd. Robbie's girlfriend, Charisee was visiting another friend so she was not with us.
After lunch we drove to a lavender farm. When we got there we found that they were closed for a private party. Plan B - we went to Chateau Ste Michelle to go wine tasting. That is a huge place. Some of us did a tasting. Than we wandered around on the grounds. There were a lot of small parties and groups of people picnicking.
We thought we would check on the lavender farm again, so I called them. They are permanently closed except for private parties. Oh well. It sure looked like a pretty place on their website.
Once we got home we walked into Redmond to go to Molly Moon's for ice cream.
On the way back we stopped at Trader Joes to pick up food for dinner. Once we got back to the apartment Madeline and Roman stared fixing dinner.
Charisee had arrived by then. Everyone else relaxed.
Luckily Seattle has not been quite as hot as Portland.
We left Madeline's around 7:30 to head on up to Debbie's. The sun was going down.
