Seattle and back to Portland

Saturday was our last day in Portland.  We gathered our things and left the Airbnb rental and used Uber to get a large SUV to take us to the train station.  We left our luggage at the train station, and with Ben using his trusted Yelp reviews found Cafe Umbria for a late breakfast - nice pastries and coffee.  Just outside, there was an event about firefighting - it included antique fire trucks on display.




Seattle is surrounded by water - Puget Sound, Lake Washington and others, so we went on an Argosy company cruise that took us to several bodies of water.  The boat had a bar, so the kids had margaritas and Patty and I had draft beer.


We learned some history, and I found the info about the floating homes to be of great interest.




Then it was back to the train station and the Amtrak Cascade Train back to Portland.  Ben and Martha stopped at a deli and got us dinner to go - a yummy meal of gazpacho, salad and paninis for eating on the train.
