Aquarius

Papa got an early start this rainy a.m. for another full day of workshops, presentations, poster sessions & discussions at the TESOL conference. Mama & Miki rendevouz-ed with me at 11:15am for a quick lunch at a great Italian ristorante for wild mushroom bruscetta, squash soup & fresh canelonni al pollo before I had to dash off again. They then spent the rest of the afternoon at the Seattle aquarium and cruising around lower 1st Avenue & Pike Street. Aunty "Mac's" graduation booty was found along with a new bikini for Miki! The family met again around 4pm at a bookstore for tea (Starbucks, go figure) and a dinner planning session. The rain stopped and we three wheeled over to Whole Foods Market for grilled lemon chicken & veggies, strawberries & sushii - a most unlikely combination, yes, but delicious nonetheless. Oh, and some lovely Californian petit syrah to wash it all down...now if Miki would just go to sleep...and stay asleep!
