We slept hard last night - Hurray!
After some comfort food in the SEA Doubletree restaurant, we were asleep shortly after 8:00 p.m. Kathy was thrilled that she slept through until 4:00 a.m. until Brian pointed out that her watch was still on Mountain Time. Still, sleeping through into 3:00 a.m. isn't bad either.
It's a rainy day in SeaTac, and we're looking forward to completing one simple chore - picking up a replacement cook top for our cracked Wolf Induction cook top - before driving home to Birch Bay.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
