We had a great time on the train, enjoying the company of good friends and conversation with fun and laughs. Then at the end of our train ride, the passenger that sat behind us informed us that we were the most rude and inconsiderate people he had ever met. And he said all this with a smile on his face. It was the weirdest thing. I kept thinking he was going to say he was joking and tell us to have a good weekend. Nope. The funny thing about this little story is that we were already in our seats before he got on the train, and the train was relatively empty. It just makes you wonder.
There was a few "firsts" that were included in our weekend. One of them was eating at the Space Needle. I was told that it was very expensive to eat at the Space Needle. Let me share with you a little tip - eat lunch. The price of the meal includes your $12 ride up to top of the needle. So the $25 minimum entree subtract the cost of the elevator ride makes it a more reasonable meal price. Right?? It was a little overcast, but it was still fun to see the skyline, and the float planes landing on the lake.
After lunch it was a ride on the monorail to Pike Street Market. This was a first for Rayme, he had never been to market before, and it had been years since I had been.
That night we attended "Phantom of the Opera". I should say most of the guys weren't totally thrilled with the idea of dressing up in their suits and going to the theater, but were good sports and surprisingly they enjoyed themselves. The Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorite restaurants, and what better way to top off a great day then to stop off and have a piece of wonderful cheesecake. Decisions, decisions - I decided on the lemon raspberry cheesecake. Mmmmm.....
After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, it was off to the pier to catch our cruise ship to our final destination - Vancouver.
More fun was to be had on the cruise ship!! Food, playing cards, a Band on the Run Show that included the fun songs from the 70's, did I mention good food. Can you guess how many desserts Lloyd had at lunch?? I do have the pictures to prove it.
It was a wonderful memory making weekend.

That sounds like so much fun!! I would count it a blessing to be the one seated behind your group on the train - I can't think of how many new stories I could tell at the next scrap retreat :)
Sounds like a fabulous weekend. And that guy was just a party pooper. I can't imagine ANY of you being rude. Just talking, laughing and having fun. It's not like you were in a library.
