We are back home now, after weeks of going hither thither and yon. After the beautiful time with my dad and sibs, we headed west. First we went to the Kitsap Peninsula with Eve and Bill and nephew Eli. We saw a baby sea lion frolicking in the waves and a bald eagle flying down to harass it two times. We sat by Puget Sound and read books and drank some beverages and relaxed like people do when they take a vacation. I collected some sea glass. Also, Heronswood Botanical Garden is a site to behold.
Then we went back to Seattle, one of the best cities around. Rosalyn and Kyle joined us and we celebrated their engagement with a fun dinner. We also saw some stunning artwork and more beautiful botanical gardens and the Mariners. We also talked nonstop for one week solid. The Pacific Northwest has the best of everything. I'm lucky to have relatives there. I can go there whenever I want.
Then we went to Chicago, just Husbandman and Me. We had to go to this Visa application office to get special visas so we can live in France for 7 months. This was a stressful hassle. But we think it all worked out. We celebrated the end of our visa application meeting with lunch at Frontera Grill and a walk through the Art Institute of Chicago. We got to see the Obama portraits. So moving to see everyone waiting to take pictures of friends and family next to our beloved Obamas.
