Day 9 of our
road trip to Alaska.
Awoke 6:30
AM at Town Suites; we checked out early and they are reimbursing our Marriott points. We arrive at Al and Betty’s midmorning. Chuck and Al take off for a day of golf using
Al’s car. No way were they getting clubs
into our packed car. Golfing at River
Bend in Kent; well maintained, required straight hits, several water features. Tall pines and cedar trees. Pat and Betty had leisurely day with a quick
lunch at Shari’s, similar to a Perkins.
They are gifting us two large delft plates that were bought in
Scotland. We were at a sale in small
conservation village of Eaglesham outside Glasgow, a favorite spot for
afternoon tea at the Wishing Well. Betty
saw the plates and scooped them up; Pat always admiring. Due to their downsizing and kids not wanting
them we are the fortunate recipients. We
pack them well with UPS materials and into the car cache they go. Fond memories and lovely gift to receive.
Golf went
well, they played a threesome; Chuck is renowned for long, straight
drives. He and Al had a great time with
a cart. Dinner at Rock Pizza located in
shopping plaza. Lots of exposed
brick. Pizzas were excellent. Back at the house we finish off with apple
pie (perfect dessert after pizza? Oh
well we’re on vacation). Spend the night
in our new location Best Western Plus that is located on the golf course Chuck
and Al played. Beautiful, clean, lots of
amenities, full breakfast.
Leaving
tomorrow for the ferry. It’s been a
great visit with the Bloombergs!
Nighty night!
