So I'm going to drive to Kalispell from Bozeman, pick up my mom, and head for he coast.
This is the first town where you are able to see Flathead Lake, my favorite summer spot. As the sun began setting, there was an incredible flood of pastel color over the lake, and I had to stop and get a picture before it faded away into the evening.
This is my mom, Sherry, and we are getting fresh water from the stream. Haven't gotten Giardia yet, so either I'm immune or we have CLEAN water!
Had to take a little side trip through Paradise.
You wouldn't know it, but I'm hunting for a shot at a heard of Big Horn Sheep.
When we arrived in Washington, we took a nice long stop at this overlook. In front of me on the hill there is a herd of horse statues up on the hill. It was a windy day, but SO nice to find WARM weather.
After staying with the Blehms- awesome family of ours in Spokane, my mom and I went out to Franks Diner for an enormous meal of pancakes, fruit, and sausage. MMMMM! Best breakfast in the city!
For a long time now, I've really wanted to see Fisherman's Wharf in Seattle. My mom and I walked along the Pier which was full of every little nick nack you could imagine. Flower bouquets aromated the air while the fishermen tossed their goods in a show like fashion. There were lollies, magic shops, fortune tellers, and venal record shops. Who would have guessed?
This guy looked like he might be compensating for something... ( had to peak around the fish).
SHHH!!! haha
In a place like that, you couldn't pass up the opportunity to have fresh sea food! oH MAN IT was DELICIOUS!! We ordered a seafood bowl with shrimp, clams, baby potatoes, corn and mussels. MMMMMM... oh man, it was so hard to finish. I was bloated, think I gained about 20 pounds. IT WAS WORTH IT!!
On the drive over to Seattle, we took a little pit stop in the park to play Frisbee, ride the dinosaurs, and graffiti the sidewalks.
China town in Vancouver, any one want to try some new lollies? haha
By the way Frog Legs are exquisite!
The butterfly pavilion in Seattle, (its attached to the museum in the main square downtown).
Mom had a BLAST-- in the space shuttle, shaking it back and fourth up and down... it was the real thing I tell you. (She's really into aliens). The 3 year old kid watching was SOOOO excited as his dad held him back to wait... the grown-ups were having all the fun : )
And look what we found when we got there!! ALIENS!!! they were velcrow and you could make them look however you wanted them to : ) Not like us, with plastic surgery...
I found a nice dinosaur, : ) I call him STEGO... and Look! I found BUBBLE TEA!!! MMMMM
Awwww and out night out on St. Patricks. My mom never knew I could talk so much. I made us lots of friends. haha, actually I just asked all those people to pose as if they were my friends. I don't remember any of their names (which I asked for after the photo). No joke. HAHA!!!
