"The Seattle Blitz"

My youngest son, Eric, and I got the hare-brained idea we would go to Everett, meet up with his Mom and sister who were already over there visiting relatives for spring break, and go to Seattle to see a Mariners baseball game. Everett is 310 miles across Washington State from Spokane where we live, but we've did it before, and we did have 2 days. This was before we decided to do EVERYTHING we could while we where there. We drove 779 miles total, saw the Mariners game, went to the Experience Music Project, went to Pike Place Market, went up the Space Needle, spent a sleep-deprived night in the worst flea-bag motel you can imagine, had a wonderful meal in a REALLY good (and expensive) restaurant (thank you Matt, for picking up that bill) went to the waterfront, drove all over Seattle and laughed at the freaks (no shortage of them) dropped the wife and daughter back at the relatives house in Everett and drove home. Total elapsed time, drum-roll please--- 44 1/2 hours. To say I wasn't worth a shit the next day would be the UNDERSTATEMENT of the year. More later...
