Seattle Lakes Cruise

Perfect mix of warm sun and cool breeze today for a 2-hour cruise today of Lake Washington and Lake Union. We apparently went at an unpopular time of day because we almost had the whole cruise ship to ourselves! We got to hear some interesting facts about Seattle and see some houses of the rich and famous that live along the river banks. Did you know that when you visit Bill Gate's home, you fill out a questionare detailing your preferences in ambiance (music, temperature, lighting...), and the 100 computers he has in his home picks up the signals from the lapel you wear on your clothes, and the ambiance adjusts to your liking as you move around the house?? $%^#@?

That is so strange because Mark and I have rigged up our house the same way. Bill is such a copy cat! It sounds like a perfect sightseeing day. Alex is getting big!

We did one of those on our trip to Seatle. Next time I hope you are not on vacation when we are on vacation.
