Quack! Quack!

This last weekend I was fortunate to be able to have a girl’s weekend with 2 of my 3 girls. Amanda had planned to watch the bombers play in the state basketball tourney, BUT that didn't happen. So we took Amanda up on her offer of a room, so we went up to spend the weekend with her. We stayed at the Spring Hill Marriott in down town Seattle. Saturday morning we got up to a very beautiful sunny day. We took the Duck Tour, it was fantastic. It's a WWII amphibious truck thing that goes around Seattle and then over to the Fremont district and into Lake Union. The tour guide was awesome. He gave little tidbits of history of Seattle, he was very entertaining. After the tour we went to Pike Street market. They had the most beautiful flowers, I was thinking of bringing some home but they would not have lasted. They were so pretty. Then we walked down to the Crab Shack and had lunch. We stuffed ourselves there then we walked back to the market so Amanda could get a piece of pottery. We only had 45 minutes to get back to the car. This is where the “Mall Walker” Amanda excelled. Kristina was behind Amanda about 10 feet and I was behind Kristina about 15 feet, you have to understand that this is Seattle which is all very hilly. We walked up the hill where the steps are and the water fountains. Very pretty with the Cherry Trees blooming. Then up the hill to the car, we were very tired. It basically kicked my fanny. I told Kristina that if I lived in Seattle or New York City I would be in much better shape. It was a very enjoyable weekend and I want to thank Amanda for allowing us the use of her room.
