As much as we do try and visit new places each year, we continue to go back to our favourites.  Although I had meetings in Seattle earlier in the year, this was our first trip together this year.  While we don’t need a lot of convincing to make our way there, we actually planned this trip around a live show for one of our favourite podcasts.  We enjoyed the show and our time in the city.

On Saturday morning, we made our way into the city, checked into the hotel and had a bit of time to walk around and explore.

The Spheres, indoor gardens, part of the massive Amazon Seattle Campus

The corpse flower, blooming for the first time in seven years. We had to view from outside, as the bloom had made the tickets very popular

After a great Saturday, we made our way to the airport and home. To earn a few more status miles, I took a longer connecting flight and although there were some delays that impacted my original plans, eventually got to Houston through San Francisco. Tom connected to Toronto via Vancouver.
