Our adventure begins! Starting on the boat at 4am with the Murphy and ending (for now) in Seattle at Pike's market!
On Sunday we got up at 4am, got ready to go and said goodbye to the boat for the summer (Yes Adelle- we left you a surprise!) Mom met us at the airport BUT she forgot the coffee....geeeeze! (Highliner was closed!) We got checked in after waiting in the summer airport line-- i saw many pounds of fish leaving Sitka that morning, and many more to come. The hardest part was saying goodbye to our child- I mean really- who leaves their only child for 2.5 months... pretty selfish!! Murphy gave his mumma a big hug and went off happily to grandma's house for the summer (rumour has it he is already living a life of ease being spoiled at grandma's!)
After arriving in Seattle, we checked into our hotel and then road the new light rail to Pike's Market where we hung out for the afternoon. After living in Sitka awhile it is truly hard to see the prices at the market-- and not for crap either! For good, homemade yummyness! We had a treat of stuffed grape leaves, marinated mozzarella and olive loaf bread. Then later- yes we ate AGAIN!- we had gyros and beer from Bolivia...interesting mix! everything was great!
Today (Monday) we are excited to get on the plane at 2pm and fly to LA where we will wait another 7 hours to get on another plane and fly 15 hours to AU! Hurry up and WAIT!!
We are only a day and a half away from AU, cheers! Meggan and Sheldon
I always KNEW orange was the best color!
