After leaving Coeur d’Alene we headed over to Yakima. Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for our grandkids Lena and Vinnie, they were away on a camping adventure with their dad. We did have a great visit and dinner with Leslee and the chance to drop off my old bike for Vinnie. Not being able to park the coach in Leslee’s neighborhood, we pulled into a large parking area next to a major grocery store. As we were pulling into the parking lot, we had to go under a large group of balloons that were swaying in the wind. Wellll, we snagged one end and took them with us. Either fortunately or un-fortunately, we had set a large group free and we had a smaller group of 8 still tied tight to one of our radio antennas.

I had a chance to kayak the Snoqualmie River with Ric and Drew again. This time we paddled down river from Fall City for a couple of hours and ended up just south of Carnation. Now all we have to do is get back out there and complete the rest of that river…

Louise and I drove into Seattle the other day to see if we could easily get into Lake Union for a day of kayaking and to make it over to Gas Works Park to see a Paper-Mache sculpture called “From Egg to …”.
