There were a couple items we wanted to get for our trip next week to IL, so we went to North Bend where there is a very nice Outlet Mall. We had been there several times in the years we lived in the Redmond/Woodinville area and thought it would be nice to see the changes there. It looked pretty much the same as we remembered with a few store changes, but we picked up the items we wanted and then sat and enjoyed the sun while drinking a latte outside of the coffee shop at the Mall.
A very good friend of mine - Paul Schooling - used to live in North Bend. He had passed away before we moved to AZ but I kind of remembered where his home was so we wanted to drive by that to see his old neighborhood. Like everything else, it has changed in that all the young trees are now grown into large trees and the neighborhood looks great. Once again, it was a short walk down memory lane. Josie did some laundry when we returned home and we then started pulling together our things to take on our trip.
We keep hearing about a bill that has passed in Congress regarding the furloughed Air Traffic Controllers, and hope that all is resolved before we travel on Monday to Chicago. The delays resulting from these missing Controllers are substantial, so we hope they get back to work quickly.
Our plan today is to visit with Kristine and the kids one time before our trip. She can do Josie's hair the way she likes it and then we should be ready to pack up, ready the rig for our time away, and do the early check-in online for our flight which we can accomplish 24 hours before the flight...
