RAIN!

Kent, Washington

Drip, drip, drip.  Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.  Pour, pour, pour. Thunder and lightning and begin again. 

No one was every lying when they said that it literally rains everyday in the state of Washington.  And it may be a beautiful state with gorgeous mountains and scenery, but I could not live here.  I think I would not only be Vitamin D deficient, but also in a very, very sad state of mind.  It is once in a blue moon that sun actually shines.  I think maybe, two days for about two hours the sun was actually out and no matter what there was a raindrop to fall to the surface each and every day. 

We tried to not let that stop us from exploring the area and being so close to the light rail to venture downtown to the city of Seattle, Washington. 

The Washington River, Pikes Place, Pioneer Square, the Gum Wall, the Space Needle and the city were waiting!

Now, it was all about timing.  Fingers were crossed that Mother Nature cooperated and didn’t rain on our parade.

It was chilly and windy, but the weather held out and it was a successful trip downtown and up and down the many floors of the Pikes Place Market with beautiful over looks extending out towards the water and the Ferris Wheel.  It’s all about finding all the nooks and cranny’s in that place because just when you think you are done, there is something else right around the corner that catches your attention. 

So, if you aren’t happy with the selection of bakeries, cafes, fresh seafood, and unique boutique shops then you can easily head over to the downtown area and stubble into the original Starbuck’s!  Be careful though, the line is normally pretty long and extends out the door. 

Any how, there had been enough exploring for the time we had and we were on our way, but not before we sung  “Rain, rain go away.  Come again another day.”

Off to Everett we went!
