"I wanna fly like an eagle... to the sea, Fly like an eagle let my spirit carry me ..."

 

Seattle, WA

I went to Seattle a long time ago on business, but never actually got to see its wonders, so I decided to take up on the generous offer of a former co-worker and took my first real and relaxing vacation in years. The weather was perfect and I see why he wanted to return home. The skies were a nice blue, the streets were clean and the views were spectacular! You could see Mt. Olympus from his home. It reminded me of the song, "On A Clear Day, You Can See Forever". It seemed like the mountain was close enough to touch it.

When Dave retired, he and his wife Beth decided to move back to Washington. He used to fondly talk about Washington and served as my "tour guide" for the week. It was a good trip for him also since Beth was still working and he needed something to do besides look at MSNBC and adjusting his stock portfolio. We both experienced things we never did before, like hike a mountain.
