Yay – Adam, Christin, Amber, and Julie all came to visit us here in Redmond, WA for a week in August, 2011. We had a fun and full week of activities…
- Pike Place Market and some great clam chowder
- Duck Tour ride in an amphibious vehicle around downtown Seattle and on Lake Union
- Dinner at the Sky City restaurant at the top of the Seattle Space Needle
- Hiking Little Si (4 mile hike with a 1,200 feet elevation gain); Darius made it completely up and down on his own without any whining!
- Rented a boat and spent about 7 hours cruising both Lake Union and Lake Washington; Julie was an excellent pilot
- Paintball in Puyallup
- Touring the Microsoft campus (I know, I know, but they actually enjoyed it)
- and lots of great food… Persian food at Caspian Grill, Flying Saucer Pizza, Red Mango, plus homemade dishes
