Another Fun Day in Kirkland

 

Ivan's special friend (Nathan). 

Today we headed off to Snoqualmie Falls 





This is the top of the falls.  We then took the trail to the bottom. It was about 1 1/2 mile total but it took 3 times as long going down as it did going back up.  We made sooooo many stops going down.

The trip back up was much quicker but more exhausting.  Going up hill is always hard for me.  

We had a 12:30 pm reservation at the Iron Duck in North Bend.  

I had asperagus and egg

George and Nathan split the black bean burger

I had a Katie May (elderberry, grapefruit and vodka)  



Back through Seattle 

We hung out in the apartment while Ivan took a nap. We played some bananagrams and 8, 7, 6.  

Nathan, George, and I took a short walk.  By the time we got back everyone was ready to head off to Castle Park.  

One interesting thing that they do around here is placing flags in a bin at a crosswalk.  You can grab a flag on one side of the street and hold them out to stop traffic. Then you put the flag in a container on the other side of the street.  Pretty smart. 




This park was not far from where we were to have dinner.  We had a 7 pm reservation at Cafe Veloce  



I had a penne pasta with feta, artichokes, and shrimp.  It was very good.  I sent my left-overs home with Madeline.


Dorothy, Ed, George, Roman, Madeline, Ivan, Nathan, and me.


After dinner we went to a close playground. 


Ivan seemed to like this playground. 

Then it was time to say good-bye to everyone.  Dorothy and Ed will be heading off to the airport at 4 am.  Madeline and Roman have other plans.  We will get Nathan to the 7:30 am train.  So we won't see them again this time around.
