Seattle and Portland by Planes, Trains, Automobiles, Link Rail, Lyft, Bus, Max

I rode every possible source of transportation available this past week, except maybe bicycle taxi or watercraft. It was well worth after calculating all those savings in taking public transport rather than private!

Kids and I Amtrak'd to Portland, I dropped the kids off with cousins, Lyfted to PDX, flew to Seattle that night, Link Railed it to our condo, bussed it to my conference in Bellevue the next day, bussed it back the next night, bussed it back the next morning and bussed it to the Seattle airport to fly back to PDX, where I took the max and Lyft back to Ev's house. I was pretty tired actually. haha. I was lugging my luggage around with me on nearly every one of those buses and rails. And on the Bellevue-Seattle bus there was standing room only for about 50 minutes. But it was worth it!

Train sure is comfortable.

I thought this was an amazing photo! Ha!

Caught them like this 2 times.

Ev sent me this photo after little guy had some allergies at the horse barn. He gets such bad allergies.

Big 40th night out for Terra (middle) at Daniel's Broiler on the top floor of our hotel. Was a nice, calm night of 6 of us chatting for a few hours.
