I will be visiting my family in Seattle in September and I can't wait. I used to go out to Seattle every other year but since I've started college in 2006 I've only been able to go out once. My grandfather is turning 92 this year so my Mom and I are flying out on his birthday. He knows that I am coming out, but my ma is not telling him she's coming out to surprise him. We plan on going to Elliot's which is an up scale sea food restaurant that he's been going to for years.
The number one thing I love about visiting Seattle, other than seeing my family, is the fact that they live on Lake Washington. It is so beautiful out there, and to wake up to the lake waves every morning is very soothing. I remember when I was younger one year we went to visit and Bill Gates was starting to build his house on Lake Washington - we can see it across the lake. I went out two years later and they were still building his house! Absolutely crazy, but his house is huge - the parts you can see. It amazing how much money some people have!
Sounds like it will be a lot of fun, it's nice you finally get to go back after missing for school. I would love to visit Seattle, I have heard lots of great things about it. Happy early birthday to your Grandpa..have a nice trip!
