We now have family from Sweden in town staying with us and they arrived last Monday. We are having a lot of fun catching up and seeing them play with Davin. So, we have Fredrik's mom (Monika) and her husband (Jan) plus Fredrik's brother (Erik) and his girlfriend (Anna) staying with us so we have quite a full house. We did the usual Seattle tour yesterday when we went to the Space Needle and the Pike Place Market. That was fun so today we decided to take it a bit easy and head out to the Everett Boeing Tour since that was the one thing that they wanted to do.
I am glad we did it but I am not sure I would do it again unless we have more out of town guests that want to go. It is just a little bit weird for me since the airplane hangers have been a normal part of my life for as long as I have lived in Everett. It was pretty neat to go see them up and close and personal. They are MUCH bigger than your brain can possibly handle. It is one thing to drive by the hangers and see how tiny a 747 looks inside it but it is another thing to be inside it! People are very tiny and almost ant like inside.
The short movie we saw before the tour started was interesting but it was very cold. We also could have explored the museum a bit but we were more interested in eating and heading somewhere else to enjoy the nice weather. We ended up at Mukilteo Beach and looked at the tide pools and just enjoyed walking around. One of these days I will post photos....
