I went to
Seattle in
the USA
to visit my
son
James,
daughter-
in-law
Mylene
and
grand-
daughter
Aliya.
Seattle is
a beautiful place on the West Coast of America with lots of places to visit
and things to do.
There is a museum called SAM (Seattle Art Museum). Mylene and I went
there and saw the Yves Saint Laurent collection and life story. The styles
were amazing!
Pike Place Market, which is always busy with visitors from all over the
country/world, is worth a visit and there are lots of beautiful shops and
eating places.
All these places are situated at the most beautiful water front called Puget
Sound where you can sit out and watch the boats come and go against
the back-drop of the most impressive Mount Rainier.
There are also plenty of theatres to choose from. We went to Bellvue and
saw La La Land. It was great.
We also went to a TV recording studio and it was interesting to see how it
works. After the show we had our photos taken with the TV host Magaret
Larson. James recorded it and, when we got back, we saw ourselves on
TV.
We flew out to Palm Springs on Christmas Day. Now that is another
beautiful place. James hired a car while we were there. I will not tell you all
we did there but we did go to The Living Desert Gardens. All sorts of
plants, palm trees and the animals were “awesome” .
We had a guided tour of Elvis Presley's honeymoon home. We also visited
the Shield Date Gardens. It was an amazing place with lots of different
dates. We went to Palm Springs Art Museum - excellent.
We did a trail guide up the Tahquitz Canyon. The Ranger gave us the
history of the Indians who had lived there and the plants they had used for
