To Salty's for seafood buffet we will go...

My oldest son is such a goof! Cute but goofy as can be. He said he made this picture especially for his mother and grandmother, but I am sure we were not first on his list.

I left you off somewhere on the plane, and we made it to Seattle about 130 or so in the morning. There was frost on the car. We had no scraper. Of course we didn't folks! I am not even sure my husband knows what that is! Then we could not sleep. Oh well, we went to a marvelous brunch buffet later on that day!
A place called Salty's... Anyone who knows me knows I like salt, so it was a perfect restaurant name for me!

On the waterfront looking across the bay to Seattle proper. This is the building from the side...

This is me. I had a craving for seafood, which is quite unusual, as, after eating shrimp and lobster charter food for the last twelve years, it is not usually something I go for...

The view was gorgeous looking out at the city...

And the buffet was marvelous. It has been so many years since I had something other then Costco frozen crab legs, I ate a fair bit of their simply fabulous Dungeness Crab Legs!

There was also no shortage of dessert, but I was not much hungry by the time I arrived there!

This was plate #1. I had been wanting eggs benedict, and the other type I thought Lisa might be interested in making on the yacht for charter. It was shrimp benedict. They had an english muffin with a bit of fresh spinach and a slice of tomato, then the poached egg, some cooked shrimp, hollandaise sauce and dill. It was good.

This was plate #2. I go to an expensive buffet and mostly eat the deep fried seafood bits with tartar sauce!

We went for a bit of a walk afterwards, long enough for Bazza to shake his head at the SCUBA divers doing their check out dives.

I offered to sign him up for some local diving, but he was having none of that at all!!! Cannot say I blamed him there...

The city was pretty anyways!

A nice tree and berries. No idea what it was!

That meal sustained us for 24 hours! We did not eat again until we went to Ipanema for Brazilian Grill the next day. It was good, although certainly not the price nor quality and portions of Texas De Brazil, but we were there for a brunch, not dinner too. Walked around Pike Market looking longingly at the Winter Hats mostly!

Then it was time to go to Costco, where Baz bought his first ice scraper and broom. We arrived home to our RV on the 7 PM ferry only to find the furnace not working, so it was a tad chilly! I slept under a billion blankets.

All in all, a quick trip, a trip that I wonder why guests do all that traveling for 7 days in the islands!!! And, before anyone asks me, I promise on the next blog entry to paraphrase Simeons' sailing adventures for those who are curious!
Apparently I am going to just carry on in my tradition of food pictures when I don't have fish pictures!
