Mount Vernon to Kirkland

 We had a nice breakfast of cereal, showers, conversation, a neighborhood walk, a rabble rousing game of 10 9, 8 and by then it was time for lunch.

A house is going to be built behind D & J's house. We went up to look at the property.

We had salad and other delicious left-overs for lunch. I had a turkey sandwich. We had aimed to leave around 12:30 pm but didn't manage to get packed up to leave until 12:45 pm.  Not too bad.  

We had all kinds of weather.

We drove to our Airbnb to drop off our luggage so that we would have room for Dorothy & Ed's luggage.

 It was very complicated getting into to it with a variety of codes.  It reminded me of the process of getting into our Chicago place. It is a very nice apartment and it is about 1/2 mile away from Madeline and Roman's place.  

We got to the airport to pick up Dorothy and Ed.  The timing worked out perfectly.  We drove them to Madeline and Roman's.  Ivan was napping so we just visited until he woke up.

Ivan was opening the gift we brought.

Nathan was playing with the gift we gave Ivan.

We went out to dinner at Tanoor, a Lebanese restaurant.

Nathan's attempts at a selfie with the group.  He and Dorothy did not make it in. Me, George, Roman, Ivan, Madeline, and Ed.

The food was very good, but I did not get any pictures.  

We headed back to Madeline and Roman's for while, before heading back to our place. On the way we stopped at Safeway  for a few groceries.  We had not planned ahead about what we would do for our breakfasts. We had to figure out the parking codes, which was another challenge. We tried to get Nathan set up with the air mattress that they provided.  Unfortunately it leaked so he had to come up with another creative solution. The owners offered to bring another air matress over. Nathan said to not bother. He might change his mind after tonight.
