A Day in the Woods and a Night Looking at the View

You're looking at the Space Needle and downtown Seattle from Queen Anne's Hill. Last night Plot and Duck's friends took them on a circle sightseeing tour starting and ending on Mercer Island. The city of Seattle is small and, to Plotnik's eyes, pretty, but not all that unlike lots of other mid-sized cities except for a Starbucks on every single block.

But the area around Seattle sounds fascinating and definitely merits a long look when the rain stops, ha ha ha, no, it really does stop, yeah, right, ha ha ha. No, really.

Earlier in the day it was gorgeous. Paul took Plot, Duck and the Great PD on a cool hike in the woods down to Lake Washington.


The hike was to a place that is called Bastyr and has its name all over the place on large signs, but yet nobody has decorated it with a huge D yet. They must not have spray paint in Seattle.



The new love of Isabella's life is Paul's Cousin Miriam.

She is really sweet and is as close to Isabella's size as anyone else at the party.

It's a lot of fun to hang around The Great FiveHead's Chicago family, and it's about to get even funner -- The Little Bear flies in this morning from Orange County. P and D will pick her up at Sea-Tac and head up to the house. The wedding is tonight and the place is already jumping.
