April 15 & 16, 2011 – Ballard, Seattle, WA
Jesse and Christina live in a neighborhood of bungalow houses, each unique. There are little roundabouts at intersections, and these are decorated with neighborhood gardens. We spent a lot of time walking and walking around the neighborhood, looking at and admiring houses. Les got busy drawing plans for Jesse & Christina’s Ballard Bump-Out addition, and they were looking at house colors, entries, bay windows and peaked roofs.
I was able to swim twice at the local pool and ride the electric bike, trying to get out some travel kinks. We had a couple of dinners out. Tonight we went to a dinner/movie at Cinebarre. The wait staff has a routine for coming through and taking orders, even during the movie. We celebrated Jesse’s birthday and watched “Lincoln Lawyer.” (good) Christina has made a rain garden, and I got to help her plant some flowers around their house.
After breakfast tomorrow we will head into Canada. Our route: highways 5, 1, 97, 16, 37 to Watson Lake eventually. Out camper is all ready for the next leg with repairs and restocking of supplies. North to Alaska!
