It was a lovely day for a drive, it had rained most of the night so the air was nice and clear, we were all packed and left for Seattle by ten. We had reservations at the Residence Hotel at Lake Union and pulled in just after three.
Our friends Bill and Leslie, joined us shortly and we talked the rest of the afternoon away. It's been way too long since we've seen them! A little after five, we walked across the street and down to the waterfront to the Crabhouse where we celebrated Bill's birthday with a wonderful dinner. We started with cups of crab soup and warm sourdough rolls. Forry had a spectacular crab cake - fully two inches high, while Leslie, Bill and I shared a whole Dungeness crab, served with asparagus and pilaf along with sides of mushrooms and broccolini. Bill was comped with a birthday crime brûlée which Leslie and I shared while Forry and Bill shared Key Lime pie. What a feast!
We came back over to the hotel and talks and talked. Too Bill had to go to work on Monday or we'd probably still be at it!
