July 17, 2011 – Seattle, Washington






Yesterday, we passed a farmers market that had beautiful flowers and goats walking across a goat bridge.

Today didn’t go as planned. We had planned to get to Seattle around noon time (which we did), park in a nice RV park (which we did) and then take Robbie to see the Space Needle, the first Starbuck’s and Pikes Place in downtown Seattle (which we did not do). Instead, we did the following:
1. We parked in a nice RV park and Bill immediately began to fix one of the drawers that had broken during the trip.
2. After the drawer was fixed, Bill had to fix the window shades above the couch which had broken during the trip.
3. We then looked down and saw that we had a flood in the living room. It took us a while to figure out what had happened. Bill had connected the water to fill our fresh water tank and he forgot to turn it off. The water continued running after the tank was full and it seeped into the motor home under the carpet. We spent the rest of the day sopping up the water, tearing up the carpet and trying to dry it.
It’s now 6:30 p.m. The motor home is still torn up and Bill is busy trying to get directions so we can take Robbie to see the Space Needle, the first Starbuck’s and Pikes Place tomorrow.
