It's All About Buses

 After much discussion of all of the options we decided on the buses we would take into town. Ivan was the most knowledgeable about the buses we would need. 

Figuring out the buses

Bus 255 was close.  That took us to the University of Washington.  We walked through the campus to see the cherry blossoms.

Madeline and Nathan

Next was the train

Then bus 4

George got a glimpse of the space needle through the bus window.

By this time it was time for lunch.

I had a delicious Havana Libre Bowl (Adobo-seasoned sweet potato and grilled red onion prepared in Latin-style sofrito, atop brown rice, red beans, and a spinach and arugula mix dressed in citrus cashew cream and topped with cilantro and smashed avocado.)

Then we went across the street to the Blue Highway Games Store.  It was a place that we could play games from their selection.  It was a nice way to try new games. 

We had been lucky with the weather because once we got to the Blue Highway Games it started raining in earnest. We played a variety of games for several hours.  It was still raining when we were ready to leave.  We had to reverse the bus process for going back to Madeline & Roman's. 

We had left the house about 9:30 am and we got home about 4:30 pm.  

The first thing Ivan wanted to do was play bus again. Ivan is taking George and Dorothy around on the bus route.

We voted to go to a close place for dinner instead of taking the bus again.  Ivan was disappointed. 

This was the kids meal. The food was all very good.  I did not take any pictures.  We were too busy eating.

We went back to the house for more games.  I had bought a Mass Transit game for Ivan.  We tried it but it was a little too complicated.  It might have been different if we had already known how to play.  Uno is still the popular game for Ivan.
