The visit started with a surprise for us from all of the kids. In additon to Christmas, Geri and I celeberated our 40th anniversary. The kids arranged for us to stay at the Westin Hotel in downtown (30th floor) and front row (actually 2nd row) center aisle tickets to see the Seattle production of the Nutcracker. They also presented us with a "new" wedding album. Very wonderful evening.
On Christmas Eve day we headed to the mountains for a day of skiing. The weather cooperated and a good time was had by all.
After a great day of skiing it was time for Christmas. No doubt about who would be the first one's up the next morning.
Basically, I think Santa out did himself this year.
And of course, there is always room for the weird gift that Papa asked for.
It's called a Horner Trumpet Call harmonica. Very cool to say the least.After Christmas came serious sight-seeing, thanks to our very experienced tour guide Laura.
You can't possibley go wrong when there is chocolate involved, and giant hamburgers with huge mugs of rootbeer.
Of course, no trip to the Emerald City is complete without a trip to the Pike Street Fish Market!
It was a great trip and a wonderful way to spend our anniversary and Christmas and enjoy the love of all our children and their spouses and our grandchildren, who all came together to make this a very special week for Geri and I.Here's wishing a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all!
