Catching Up – March
March was relatively quiet—travel wise. We had only one trip—back to Seattle, WA. I’m not sure why from here to Seattle includes all red eye flights. We left around 4 pm from home and got to Seattle at 1 am (3 am our time—yawn). Once again it was raining and dark. I had the directions to where we were going and Bob was driving. I did have the thought that if Bob didn’t travel with me to some of these places, I probably wouldn’t last too long. There is no way that I would have wanted to be driving myself around in the middle of the night. Even with me reading the directions, we missed a turn—so had to go on up a road and turn around. As we were coming back, we got into a lane that went out on the freeway, so we headed back the way we came—we’re getting really good at making U-turns!
I was in Seattle for the region’s convention. They have a new regional coordinator and a few issues to address, so I spent a fair amount of time helping the regional coordinator lead some strategic planning for the region. It was a fun and productive session.
When we were going back to the airport, we decided to follow along Puget Sound and maybe find a place to eat that looked over the water. So we crossed this floating bridge, but missed the road, so we turned around to go on it from the other way—missed it again and went back across the bridge, so turned around and went across the bridge one more time—I do have to admit—it was a neat bridge, but I’m not sure we had to go back and forth three times to get the full enjoyment!
Anyway, we followed some wooded and curvy roads, ate supper and caught our flight at midnight—which put us in the cities at 6 am and home at 10:30 am. Time for a nap!
