Why We Love Seattle

Living in Mexico part-time sounds exciting, but we could never leave Seattle completely. There is just too many wonderful things here.
Last night we had a great opportunity to be guests onboard the Argosy Cruise Lines shake-down cruise for their new Tillicum Indian Village cruise.  Yes, Argosy purchased the Tillicum Village and has done some MAJOR renovations, upgrades and improvements.  Gone are the styrofoam plates, replaced with stoneware dishes, cloth napkins and an elegant table setting. Food was greatly improved as well, even though it's hard to improve on cedar roasted salmon. The trip over was fun with the best bartenders ever - great wine and fabulous cocktails.  Clams and nectar served steaming in heavy mugs (no styro cups!) when we landed on the beach - then drop the shells onto the trail and crush them with your foot to add to the path cover! Staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds were gorgeous and even the gift shop was new and interesting.  The Seattle skyline in the fading evening light and again fully lit in the dark, was gorgeous.
I will never be able to choose which I love best!
