SHUTTLE

While we were in Seattle in November, we had a great time eating dinner at a fabulous restaurant. If you are ever in Seattle, try to make time to eat at The Crab Cooker down near Pike's Place. The food is yummy and it's so fun to eat in an unusual way.

We walked down to Pike's Place and it was freezing, a biting cold that goes right through you. On the way, Scott spotted a shuttle that had our hotel's name on it and he asked if we could get a ride back in about an hour. The driver was very pleasant and told Scott to give him a call and he would be there in a flash. I was very thankful that Scott was taking care of all his girls. I did not want to repeat that cold walk.

Scott called the given number and true to his word, our driver and his shuttle arrived without delay. The Roderick family piled in and off we went.

Seattle was starting to dress up for Christmas and it was exciting. New town, new experience, full bellies, life was good. Kelsey was quietly reading signs and thinking about directions, but I didn't pay much attention until we pulled into a hotel that I had never seen before. Kelsey said, "Oh, this isn't right. Our hotel is on the other side of town". The driver just shook his head and rolled his eyes. If I could read minds, I am sure his was saying "these crazy tourists, don't even know where they are staying". People in the lobby were laughing and the girls were trying to hide, so red and so embarrassed. Me, I am laughing at another adventure in the making. My family is my entertainment. The shuttle guy said he would take us to the other hotel with the same name so again, we all jumped in and we were off.

As we drove up and were dropped off, people at our hotel were laughing, pointing and guffawing, as well as the gentleman at the front desk. He smiled and said "It happens all the time".

We Roderick's know how to party in Seattle.
