Where In The World Is Sum1?

Sleepless In Seattle

         Wow, how nice it is to be back in the Pacific Northwest!  I lived on the west side of Puget Sound almost 20 years ago, and absolutely love this area.  I'm not all that familiar with Seattle though, but it sure is nice to be in one of the three cities I call home.  I will have two weeks here now, and three weeks in March (as of now), so maybe I'll get the chance to learn more about this city.    I went to Ivar's Salmon House for dinner Monday night, and had some of the best seafood I've had in quite a while.  Oysters Rockefeller, Seafood Chowder, and a Smoked Salmon Appetizer.  All were outstanding, but the salmon was nice thick cuts, maybe two ounces each, three cuts on the plate.  The creamy Marscapone sauce that accompanied it just made it that much better.
         Since I'm here over the weekend, I will spend some time with my oldest son who is stationed at Whidbey Island right now, and my daughter who lives in Covington.  We may go to Leavenworth on Sunday.  It's a small community in the mountains that has a really good German heritage.  And of course, being October, Oktoberfest is going on right now.  We'll see what happens, but right now I'm loving the chance to see two of my children, and visit a city I love in the process also.  Next up is Baltimore, I'll be heading there as soon as I'm done here, then home in Chicago for a week before going to Beaumont Texas.  Y'all have a great week, and a Bootifool, Happy Halloween!
