We enjoyed our time driving down different exits and following signs to harbors. One day, we ate brunch overlooking a harbor filled with sailboats, yachts, and kayaks! We also went to Pike's Market Place where they throw the fish the customers had bought. Quite a show! We walked down to the pier and Arthur had a seagull eating right out of his hand!
We also visited the Museum of Flight, the Seattle Space Needle, took a 3 hour whale watching boat tour, and drove to Snoqualmie Falls (where we ate at a restaurant on top of a 185 foot waterfall!). There were also 3 days that we stayed in the hotel room and spent time together! One of our favorite things to do together is order pizza and watch a movie-so we did:)
Arthur looked amazing in his Army uniform, and I am very proud of what he is doing! He has been working incredibly hard (3:30 am to 10:30 pm) for almost 2 months straight!! Just seeing him in his uniform with a beret, and watching cadets stand at attention and call him 'sir' was just amazing! I have so much respect for him and what he does, especially after seeing it first hand! He is living in less than a bad-dorm-room type conditions, not being compensated enough for dedicating his life to his country, putting in an 80 hour work week in 2 1/2 days, and he has to be separated from his family right after experiencing the excitement of getting married! It's hard to find a quiet moment to talk like a husband and wife on the phone, unless he sits outside and gets eaten alive by mosquitoes!! So, all in all, it was a great trip...but we are ready to have ARTHUR COME HOME!!! I pick him up from the airport July 29th at 12:05 a.m.!!
