Ken & Susan's Pacific Northwest Trip
September 11-28, 2023
In the middle of September Susan and I took our long awaited vacation to the North West. We first went to Berkeley to see her sister then flew to Seattle. We stayed downtown at the Grand Hyatt Hotel so that we would be within walking distance of many of the sights that we wanted to see. We went to the famous Pike Place Market and took a ferry to Bainbridge Island for the afternoon. The next day we took the monorail to the Needle and the Chihuly glass exhibit. The next day we went to the Seattle Arboretum and the Japanese Gardens. The next day after doing a laundry we pepared to take the Victoria Clipper ferry the next morning to Victoria, Canada. We arrived in Victoria and went to the Abigail's Hotel. The following days we walked around downtown, the waterfront, went to the Butchart Gardens, Chinatown and rode a doubledecker bus all around the city. We stayed on the waterfront for the last several days at the Hotel Grand Pacific on the 8th floor looking over a fablous view of the harbor. The only bad part of the trip was that we contracted an upper respiratory infection (non-Covid) that we had to deal with during the trip beginning in Seattle.
