Our Favorites
When we return to Edmonds on Tuesday evening, we will have been gone exactly 21 days. Whew! Of the ~1,000 photos we took, we found we had almost none of ourselves together. This one was at Daddy Jack's Seafood Restaurant in downtown Ft. Worth. We reminisced about the highlights of our wonderful vacation, and thought it would be fun to share with you our 20 most favorite things...By the way, Daddy Jack's was very good but did not make the cut...read on!

Look at her..."Isn't she lovely?"
i can't believe it's been that long!! WOW...what a joy it must've been to take a break from "real" life. You two are definitely kindred spirits, heh?! I liked reading your favs from the trip - great idea!
It went very fast! Thanks for the comment, Janelli. We've had fun, and yes, we're kindred spirits. It was VERY HARD to drive down the coastal highway out of Fulton toward the airport in Corpus and know it was the last time. Boo hoo.
Nancy!!! Hi! I love Ft. Worth. You picked one of the best cities in the USA. The museums are outstanding and Sundance Square is so much fun. There used to be a rooftop Cactus Garden for drinks and a night club , and I can't remember the name right now. We went to see Stephane Grappelli. Great jazz.
