Playing Tourist

Yesterday morning Layla and I walked about 10 blocks to a Walgreens, and then back 10 blocks. We did a little shopping on the way back and it took us about 2 hours total.  Mostly because we had to stop numerous times for me to rest.  Told Ken when we got back that I was training for our new home.  My legs and back are feeling it this morning. (I know, it is good for me.)

Well one of the things that was on my bucket list was to go to the Space Needle in Seattle.  My mother reminded me that I had been there when I was small, but I did not remember it.  Ken, Layla and I went Saturday (11-25-12).  We took a couple of buses to the city center and then when we were done, we took the Monorail back part of the way and then a bus the rest of the way.

Fun was had by all!!!

Thanksgiving Day

We were able to spend Thanksgiving Day with Ken's two youngest daughters, Layla and Jamie.  It was very nice.  The girls made a non-traditional meal, but we had a traditional dessert, (pumpkin pie!!!)  It has been nice to have some down time and time to relax and slow down from the rush of getting ready to leave.  Shadou is doing well with the traveling.  Miss everyone alot. Do so want to keep in contact with everyone via email and this blog.

On our Way

Well we finally made it out of Kalispell  on Saturday morning (Nov. 17). We stopped in Moses Lake to stay the night.  Shadou is doing very well traveling.  I think that she will be good with this, so long as she is with Ken.  We made it to Lacey, Washington to visit Ken's best friend on Nov 18.  Have been relaxing, which is what we needed.

We have been delayed a week, due to the National Census in Bolivia.  Had we arrived on Nov 21, we may have had to stay in the Airport (not sure if there is a hotel there) for one to two days.  This has given us more time to spend with friends and family in Washington and some down time for us.  We will be flying out on Nov. 26th  and arriving on Wed. Nov.27.

Farewell Gathering

Thank you to all of our friends that came to our Farewell Gathering.  We were so blessed to have you come by and spend time with us and our other friends and family.  We will miss you ALL very much.  Please keep in contact via email and this blog.

Blessings to ALL.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
