Day 7:  Departure - Back To The East Coast
   
 
Tuesday, July 30, 2002
Drop-off at Sea-Tac... as our time together ended it was hard to believe that seven days had passed...
 
Early morning at my lodge prior to the drop-off...
 
Father was able to get a nice parting shot of Mount Rainer as the jet ascended out of the Seattle area...
 
I wandered around Bellevue, savoring the recent days, taking a few shots with the new Pentax Optio 330...
 
Later in the day from this spot in Bellevue I called the folks back in North Carolina to see how they faired on the long cross-country flight... all was well...
 
Old Mount Rainier had remained elusive (from ground level in the Seattle area) during the entire time my parents were here. These shots are from a hill overlooking downtown Bellevue...
 
I will always remember the week my parents visited me in Seattle as one of the best times of my life.
