Snowy Seattle Trip

I needed to go to the Seattle Gift Show for the Lynden Pioneer Museum on Sunday.  There seemed to be many hurdles, glitches and snafus this year.  Then my sister, Kathi stepped in.  She agreed to go with me at the last minute and suggested we take Amtrak to the city.  Brilliant.  We took the train in on Sunday morning and watched the snow fly.  Once we got to the show our decision was affirmed again as it dumped in Seattle, then melted, then started to get icy.  Meanwhile at home in Lynden it was snowing.  We got into the train station last night in Fairhaven and it was just dumping.  It snowed all the way home but not like it was in South Bellingham.  Made it home safe and just in time for a snow day today!

We had a good time at the show.  With all of the snow it wasn't crowded and we got lots of help.  The trends are owls, owls, owls and crossbody bags.  All of which will be in your local museum gift shop soon.   Aside from the show we hit happy hour at my favorite Seattle spot, Dragonfish Cafe, we  lunched at the Nordstrom Metro Cafe, loved staying at the Camlin!, enjoyed success at the eddiebauer and William Sonoma sales, had good sister time and never worried about the weather.  

I learned that I loved taking the train.  It's easy and stress free.  And the train never cancels because of snow. I asked someone at the Camlin's front desk about checking our Amtrak schedule for delays.  She was a past Amtrak employee.  She told us not to worry because the train would be going and on time.  The underground bus has a stop across the street from our hotel and one at King Street Station, so transfers were a breeze.

Great trip and now even better... a snow day!

P.S.  My heavy heart got amazing news yesterday afternoon so now it's just giddy.
