Seeing Bill Gate's House During Seattle Vacation

I finally got around to uploading pics of our short Seattle vacation to Flickr. Our first full day there, Saturday, benefitted from beautiful weather. We took a nice boat ride on Lake Washington and skipped by BillG᾿s immense house.

The pic does not do it justice. There are a few more here. We must᾿ve gotten too close for comfort because a security guard came to the water᾿s edge and mad dogged us.

We also had the opportunity to check out the new sculpture park. I thought it was quite interesting. One of my favorite sculptures was this chrome tree, seen here behind a real tree.

I also had the opportunity to visit some friends at Microsoft. Apparently Microsoft is experiencing explosive growth. My friend Julie who worked on campus a couple years ago is now at an office complex one freeway exit away off campus.

Our friends worked hard to convince us that we should move to Seattle. But I think it may take more convincing, as we᾿ve both contracted a cold and blame the damn Seattle weather. Wink

Not sure what it is about Seattle, but two of my really good friends also keep trying to convince me to move out there. But the dreary weather dissuades me. Beautiful area though. I'm definitely going to have go visit soon.

I'll be there for a few days in a couple of weeks. Never been, and absolutely looking forward to it.
