We are about to fly home so our trip is coming to a close. This latter half in Seattle has been gorgeous! I have to say that while in the metropolis of Cosmopolis (!), where we went first, looking out the window I would have thought we were in the middle of our California winter! It was warmer than our winter but rather gray and drippy! :( Ah well, the weather has steadily improved on the trip, even in Cosmopolis. Brian is loving it now at 87 degrees in Seattle.
Getting together with long time friends (please note I did not say 'old' because we aren't!) has been wonderful. It's great when you can just pick up where you last left off even if that was a few years ago. Those kind of relationships are special.
It's been a fine time away, but like the end of most trips the thought of home is a welcome one. My comfy bed and a freshly painted bedroom sound wonderful!
