Because of the delay we had to stay overnight in Seattle

Scoot, who had been waiting (sleeping so he did not hear)for ages did receive message about delay and already went ahead to Ferndale |

The next day Scoot and Tim came and picked us up (a little late)
Afther a 2 h drive we arrived in Ferndale and met the rest of the family: Sue, Ashley and T.J. |

Easter today, and the whole family was coming; Sue had a lot of preparing and organizing to do.
In the evening we went to the beach, hardly 50 yards from their home ! waw |

Coming home a home-made pizza was waiting for us |

|
|
The next day, we visited Widbley Island, or is it Wibley, widdeley,ww, Tim?
Unfortionately we had a rainy day, but still was beautifull. With the sun out, like the last 2 days it would surely be even more beautifull.
In the evening we ate steak ( beef and elk); BBQ ; all tree of us wondered how many people were coming over for dinner ? Was lekker and the mashed-baked special patatos as well. |
|
|
|
Thursday was already our last day for Ronald and me. Seattle again, for some serious shopping, and a visit to pike market. In the evening we team up with Sue and Tim for our second Sonics game against the Portland. Close game. What an atmosphere. Afther the game it is time to say good-bye to our american friends and scoot, who has another 3 days to go ( the lucky b.) |

Friday, up early, real early, 4.30, cab from downtown Seattle to Airport.
Less troubles than when coming up; just a 2 h delay in washington, due to bad weather. Messing up our body clock again; but it was worth it. |

|
|
Saturday morning, back home; tired but we had a wonderfull time.
Many Thanks Sue, Tim, Ashley and T.j.
See you in Belgium, for Chrismas (?); Luckely there is ICQ in the mean-time
