The forecast for the weekend was rain...so, Thursday evening (after work) we loaded the van and headed for Cannon Beach. We decided that even if we were to miss the great sunset, we could still have a great meal at Mo's :)  We parked, grabbed Payton and headed down to the beach and this is what we saw...

 

just beautiful!!! Dinner was super...like always! Very nice weather, slight wind, great for walking on the beach!  One more day before the weekend! Write more soon.

Friday evening, October 2nd, Carol and I had a very nice dinner at home. I fired up the grill and chopped up some veggies and threw on a couple of small Omaha steaks. Carol deep fried some coconut shrimp. Oh, my, had to go to the gym early Saturday morning! I raked leaves and Carol worked on the house most of the morning. Then we packed up the van and headed for Seattle around noon. Ofcourse, we had to stop at Spiffy's for a light lunch. We got to Tacoma around 3:00pm and checked into the Tacoma Dome Best Western. It's located right outside the back gate of the Tacoma Dome....and...a block away from

 

We went inside and talked to the folks at the info. desk - they said to allow 3 hours to tour. Since we only had an hour before we had to leave for Jazz Alley...we took a bunch of flyers and told them we'd have to make a return trip.

On to Jazz Alley in Seattle!!! We had dinner and listened to Euge Groove - played a great saxaphone!

I heard about him through the Smooth Jazz Cruise line up for this year. And the local jazz station plays his songs. What a great evening! We didn't stay for "meet and greet" ...the line was really long! And he had another performance after ours. We went back to the hotel and crashed...long day! Very fun weekend...Happy Birthday, Carol!!!
