After some coffee and cereal, Chris and Kathy drove us to Knoxville and the airport. We left at 9:30 am and arrived at 11:00 am. The airport is small and not crowded so we got through security and the gate in short order. The Chicago O'Hare airport was a different story but manageable.
Did you know that O'Hare airport was named for the son of Al Capone's accountant, who was a decorated war veteran? Well, now you know.
The flight to Seattle was fine. I did feel sorry for the crying babies on board. I wish that parents would talk with their pediatricians before the flight and get something for their ears and the pressure. Everyone on the plane would be a lot happier at the end if they did.
Upon our arrival and collecting our bags we took the light rail to downtown Seattle and walked to catch the ferry. Nancy picked us up at the other end and we went to Karen and Mark's for dinner and to watch the last part of the Seahawks game. I question the call at the end of the game, enough said.
We had a great time on our visit. We tried to see everyone but we never are able to. For those of you we missed, please accept our apologies. For those of you who cheerfully provided us a place to stay, Thank You.
Now we turn to the chores we need to complete before we return to Windarra in mid October.
