It doesn't quite feel like home till the roar of Blue Angels greets you for SeaFair weekend. Pyper enjoyed her first real view of this amazing flying team this year. No, I don't have any great pictures, but you might be able to make out a dot or five, if you look closely in the sky. We parked ourselves at Lid Park on Mercer Island, so we had a spectacular view, comfy grass seating, and playground entertainment for the slow moments of the air show. I think this is the first time in my life as a Seattleite to go out of my way to actually see the Blue Angels, and it definitely will not be the last. It's not because I don't enjoy watching them, but you can see them fly everyday they are in town from almost anywhere in a 10 mile radius.
Watching the Blue Angels from Lid Park
During all the Blue Angel commotion, Andy made it into town after driving 2,919 miles in over 77 hours. He was hammered when he finally pulled in. We decided to save the moving part for the morning.
Andy loaded up in Greenville ready to hit the road, resting hammock style in and out of the truck, and the final stretch home with Mount Stuart on the horizon.
While we unpacked, Auntie Eileen helped us watch Pyper. A trip to the park was a hit and the Top Pot donut mission was a failure and success.
Enjoying our new home view.
Within 24 hours, we managed to get the move behind us, at least into a storage unit. Unfortunately we also has to say good-bye to Daddy for the week as we dropped him off at the airport for this week's training.
Did Eileen break into Top Pot Donuts just for Pyper? That's so crazy. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved this one Pauline. And YA'LL are in a great place. Happiness!!!! Miss ya like crazy. Thinking of you, Pyper and Andy. And yeah, how did Eileen score those doughnuts? They looked sooooooo good.
ReplyDeleteThe first one was in the mall, wasn't open, so they headed to the main store a couple blocks away.
