Wayne's big brother Nick (Uncle Nick), is working as a welder in Saskatchewan and while his job is grueling, the upside is they pay for him to fly wherever he would like (equidistant to home) every four weeks, for one whole week. So, he thought, why fly back to St. Thomas (their hometown) when he could fly to Seattle and be with us for a week? Well, the answer is...Yes, exactly. So, Nick flew in and stayed with us for a week during our 3 week in Seattle. It worked out perfectly and we had a great time showing him around. We really missed him when he left and Norah is still asking, "Where's Uncle Nick?"
Top Pot Donuts on Queen Anne - Yummmm
She knows the drill - coffee shop - find a place to read.
They're allllmost twins
My Polish Mother making Blueberry Pierogi from scratch for Vickie's visit.
Two of my favorite people on earth: Vickie and her Momma, both working away as usual
No surprise, Richard has already gotten them some drinks and they're chatting away.
Vickie and Trysh, thank you for letting us borrow your parents for a few days. They took us on a great walk down the Cedar River Trail after dinner so we could show Nick the big Boeing plant.
Norah and her Babcia/Grandma (Vickie/Trysh: Spelling help?)
Dr. Lane Gerber - one of the most incredible people on this planet. We adore this man. He's right up there with Nelson Mandela.
On Nick's first day visiting, we decided to take him to Ivar's on Lake Union for lunch. You can't get much more iconic than this place. Seattle Seafood with one of the best views in the city.
And continuing on to Ballard - We wanted to show Uncle Nick the Ballard Locks
And Golden Gardens
Annndd...why not finish the night with Pike Place Market?
We found a great Bolivian Restaurant overlooking the market
Playtime at Cousin Megan's
Uncle Dan always needs help with iTunes, his computer, or his coffee maker.
On eof my favorite Sushi restaurants in Seattle - Mashiko's on California Avenue. We have sushi in Dublin but some reason we have yet to go out. This is my favorite food on earth and I really missed it so this place was high on the list for Seattle-visits.
Haruko and baby Mika - this child is seriously cute.
Luke and Aya
