Here is a pretty neat stop action of a seagull coming in for a landing. Looks like he has his landing gear down and full flaps! We took this shot at a beach somewhere near Edmonds, Washington.
Washington State
Back in Austin and the sunshine
Sher and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Seattle with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson for the past 3 weeks. On our way out there, we flew Delta from Austin to Seattle with a layover in Salt Lake City. Scroll though our blog for recent posts about the highlights of our Seattle trip.
Real winter in Seattle 2020
Before we left someone commented that we were nuts going to Seattle in January. Guess they were right as we were snowed in for three days the first week we were there. Seattle does not have the road equipment to handle snow! Oh, and Seattle maintained its reputation of rain, fog, rain, fog and more rain. We witnessed the sun one day, I should say about 3 hours, while we were there.
Returning to Austin we had the de-ice process at Cincy airport on a heavy frost morning
This is the first time in over 10 years since we have traveled by air. (You know, with an RV you don’t need planes!) Next time we fly we’ll have one large suitcase to check and each of us will have a small carry on bag. It was a pain carting those “carry on” size suitcases and stuffed smaller bags around. Coming back we flew Delta from Seattle to Cincinnati for crying out loud. Now I know what they mean when they say “red eye” flight. Left at nearly 11 pm, got into Cincy about 6 am. Got in to Austin about 10:30 am.
Welcome home!
Once in Austin, we got back to the La Hacienda RV Resort. Got the RV out of the storage yard, parked in our new site, hooked up the utilities and got things somewhat back to normal. My were we tired! Got carry out fast food for supper. We’ll hit the store next day. It was good to get back to our RV.
Mōksha Indian Cuisine in Bellevue, Washington
A delightful chicken and veggie platter
Mōksha Indian Cuisine is located in downtown Bellevue at 515 Bellevue Square. Sher and I dined there with our daughter and son and their families. It was listed as one of the Top Restaurants for 2013 by the Seattle Times, and our experience there sure showed why it made that list.. The restaurant uses local ingredients when possible. The menu has a wide variety of entree choices that will satisfy the most discriminating diner. The Tandoor Chicken plate had an exquisite taste prepared in a 500 degree traditional oven, with the chicken morsels bedded on onions and green peppers. The Three-Bean Makhani Daal, vegetarian, was a delicious presentation of chick peas, kidney beans & black lentils, stewed with tomatoes, ginger, garlic, chiles & spices. I loved both of those dishes. All the food was excellent, the service was nearly perfect and the atmosphere was very comfortable. We absolutely loved the meal, and shared several different dishes family style. We would highly recommend Mōksha Indian Cuisine.
