Thank you Bryon, for a wonderful time together to celebrate your delightful life as a family. What a blessing you are to us every day!

Of course, you have to visit the Pikes place Market, where they throw the fish to one another when an order is made. This was a fun thing for the children to witness and was the last of the places we visited. Our trip was capped off on Vancouver WA where we ate dinner at Carl's Jr., the Birthday boys' choice!

We were able to drive by the temple. A tradition when we visit a place that has the temple. Beautiful, of course!

After the Safeco tour, we made our way to the space needle. Not going to this site while in Seattle, is like visiting Paris without going to the Eiffle Tour, it is a must and, though costly, worth the experience!

That night we enjoyed some good fun family time at the hotel pool and Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner. The next morning we started off with a tour of Safeco field, home of the Seattle Mariners. So much fun, and well worth it!

We enjoyed the exhibits and a wonderful tour of the boeing airplane assebly!

We tailgated our first meal in Seattle at the Boeing Museum parking lot. Apparently, a pretty regular thing there, because we weren't the only ones.

On our way to Seattle, Steve called Tyler and Justin the sleeping singers!

Cinco de Mayo

We laugh because in Mexico, it is just the fifth day in May, but here, they celebrate it as a Mexican holiday! Kind of out of jest, we celebrate it lightly too. I cooked and served up a great Chimichanga recipe that I know my good friend Melanie will recognize. I first tasted this delicious dish in her kitchen during lunch in High School. It was then published in the Ridgecrest cookbook by her mother some years later. It is the BEST recipe I have ever run into for Chimichangas, with a flavor that needs absolutely no altering! Funny, a true mexican wonders what a Chimichanga is too!! Appropriate to serve on a day they don't celebrate, don't you think? Click on the Alger Family Recipes link for the recipe... Que Provecho!
