9/11 Memorial

Yesterday we went to visit the 9/11 Memorial and also the Tribute Center.  Both were very touching. 

Pool, where the tower once stood

The other pool.  The waterfall was turned off due to the wind and cold weather.

Flag of Honor, which is composed of the names of those lost.

There was a visible police presence nearby and we were required to go through security before visiting the memorial.  I am glad for both.  I hope to return later to see Museum, which is schedule to open this September.

New York City

I went to NYC for the weekend to visit one of my favorite people.  Hopefully, I can visit more now that I'm not on the other side of the country.  It was a great visit!

Seattle, Again

As usual, I took a long layover in Seattle to visit my lovely sister.  We did our regular thing, but, due to my weird flight times, ended up in at the Market at 6:30 a.m. before anything opened.
