Hello!

Hello!

How are you doing? I am good here in the valley of Tucson. I am just about done with my To Do List for today. All I have left is to make a visit to the "Live Theater Workshop" to renew our season tickets for the upcoming year. I will get that done this afternoon at around 3:00pm.

I do know that I am starving. I need to grab a bite or two of something don't you know?  I hope that things are going your way so far today?

Here is a bit about our trip to Port Angeles, Washington to visit with Eddie. Enjoy!

Sunday May 21st. 

We left the house at 12:30pm and we arrived at the Tucson Airport at 1:00pm. Jayne is caring for Chris while we are away.

We enjoyed a light meal prior to boarding our plane (Alaska Airlines) making our way to Seattle, Washington. We arrived in Seattle at 6:35pm and we took the shuttle to the rental car place where we picked up a Hyundai Elantra. We drove to our hotel (Days Inn Hotel and Suites. We checked into our room and we relaxed for a bit with a Jack and Coke.

We started to get a bit hungry so we walked over to "Dave's Diner". We had a great home-cooked meal. Elise enjoyed liver and onions and I had the  pork chops. Both meals were served with mashed potatoes and corn. It was wonderful! We topped the meal off with a Jack and Coke.

We returned to our room and we hit the sheets. We enjoyed a nice gummy bear for dessert. We slept like babies until 8:45am the next morning. 

Monday May 22.

We got up up and we went back to "Dave's Diner' for breakfast. Elsie enjoyed oatmeal with all of the fixings and I had sausages, potatoes and eggs. After breakfast we checked out of our suite and we headed toward Port Angeles. We got lost a couple of times and we had to call Eddie for directions. it took 3 and a half hours to get to Port Angeles from Seattle. It is west of Seattle and it is difficult to get to because you have to drive south to find a bridge to cross over to Gig Harbour. You then drive north and then west . The drive is very scenic and gorgeous. Big tall trees, beautiful flowers and at for today it is sunny!

We got to Eddie's house at around 2:30pm. It was good to see Eddie and he is looking very good, relaxed and very happy. We talked for awhile before Eddie had to leave for the high school were we coaches track and field. We just chilled while he was away. After Eddie returned we headed for Port Angeles. Eddie lives outside of town. We walked around and Eddie pointed out the sights . It is a super little town with about 20,000 residents. Lot's of shops, murals and of course a great ocean view.

All of that walking around starting to make us hungry, so we stopped at a place called the "Landing" it is located right on the ocean and it houses two restaurants. Elise had the clam chowder, I had the Mahi Mahi, and Eddie enjoyed crab fettuccine.  It was all good. Before dinner we stopped in bar for a drink. The place was crowed big time. It gets chilly here when the sun goes down. 

What a good evening with Eddie. We returned back to Eddie's home and we chilled before we called it a night. A great start to a very good trip.
