I picked up Caitlin and Amber from the airport today-in the rain of course. Was quite pleased with myself that I didn't get lost!! YAY! Much thanks goes to Kathy for taking me there the other day so I at least had an idea of what to expect. The girls where so excited that it was raining! Funny how you take things for granted that you are used to! Caitlin even got to wear her rain boots!

After a quick stop at my apt we ventured into downtown Seattle to find their hotel (and parking). We were pretty much able to drive right to it without problems (another thanks to Kathy and Patty). They got checked in OK and got to the room. It definitely wasn't the Hilton! It is an old building that has some "charm" that could use some TLC...they had 2 TWIN beds! I am not sure I have ever seen a hotel with twin beds before!! Oh well...the girls liked it and its a place to lay their heads.

Once settled, we ventured out walking...we managed to find the Pike's Place Market, Starbucks (the original), the waterfront, watched the ferry come and go, and went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle. We then proceeded to find Mars Hill Church and discuss how they were to get there today since I am scheduled to work. After all that, we ended the night with a treat from Cold Stone Creamery.

All in all it was a great day...it even quit raining by mid afternoon! The girls were disappointed, but I was quite happy!

Once again I am off to work tonight, so best go get ready...

Safe travels!
