BABY IT’S DARK OUTSIDE; DIALING UP NOSTALGIA; TIGER ROLLS
Lewis and Clark often began their daily activities well before dawn. So, why not us, too? Our ride share driver picked us up at 4:30am for an early morning flight to Seattle, with a brief stop in San Francisco.
Our first discovery today was the small museum in the United Airlines terminal at SFO that celebrates the history of the telephone. The beginning of the 20th century saw a very rapid growth in phone development and usage that was only outdone by the explosion in technology advances in the early 21st century. In between, there were some interesting and quirky innovations. For example, what else can make a fashion statement like , “I’m the hippest person in the early 1970’s”, than a black leather telephone purse?
Meanwhile, Karen relaxed in one of the faux mid-century modern bucket chairs while waiting for our connecting flight.
Once we got to Seattle we picked up our rental car and slogged our way through the afternoon downtown traffic (our version of Lewis and Clark paddling and towing their boats upstream on the Missouri River?) up to Everett.
Adam, Amy, Finnigan and Forrest were supposed to meet us for dinner. However, Vespa the dog suddenly took ill and Amy took her to the vet for an exam). So, it was boys night out at the local sushi restaurant. We had a great time catching up on all the latest happenings up in the Pacific Northwest. We’re sorry we missed you, Amy!
Next: Astoria, OR
