SEATTLE

So we took a trip (and still are really) to Seattle. C had a business trip and, stupidly, I agreed to bring the kids along and make it a "vacation".

Well some highlights:

1. The scenery is gorgeous. It's fall, the leaves are turning colors, the mountains are pretty. It really IS pretty.

2. The PEOPLE are a nasty mean sort that has "asshole" stamped all over them. Truly heinous. Extremely polite about it, but no matter how you dress up a donkey, it's still an ass.

3. There are NO children here. AT ALL. And apparently everyone hates them. Even when they are well behaved. And they fell free to be rude and nasty to any one who has any. Such as ask that they leave a coffee shop IF the child TALKS. yep.. That's right. Don't go to Lulu's Cafe if you have kids, they aren't welcome there, even though the OWNER has kids.

4. The rudest, most outspoken people, are the ones WITH kids. Confusion abounds with that one. Everyone else just looks at you like you are  a leper..


I'm sure I will have something good to say about this little hell hole of a place, perhaps when my hand isn't swollen twice it's size and blue again, have had more than 4 hours of sleep in the last 3 weeks, or perhaps C joins us for some of the "family" activities.. Who knows.. C on the other hand, loves it here. I did tell him he was welcome to move here, just without annnyyyonnneee else...
