Season's Greetings

HAPPY HOLIDAYS:  Monday we knocked a couple of  stops off the holiday 'to do' list.

First, we hit Swanson's Nursery. It's in northwest Seattle. A lovely nursery, and every Christmas they have lots of beautiful plants, live critters, and more. 

We stopped by the reindeer exhibit first. 

 It was feeding time, and the reindeer were enjoying their roughage.

 Christian noticed one of the two reindeer's antlers were actually crossed over one another.

 We stopped by the koi pond near Swanson's cafe. The fish were looking healthy.

We sought out the model railroad display. This year's theme was the Pacific Northwest.  Naturally, that included Puget Sound and a ferry.

 There was a picturesque lighthouse. 

 And Yoda was living in a log cabin.

 The Space Needle was a focal point, for sure. 

After Swanson's we spent about an hour in a nearby Value Village buying things we probably didn't really need. From there, we stopped into Chuck's - a favorite stop for snacks, pints and visiting with friends. When we stopped in, we were going to check to see what night Santa was going to be at Chuck's this December. But guess what?  SANTA WAS AT CHUCK'S THERE AND THEN!!!

How lucky were we?
