Bonnie and I were in Phoenix for a few days last month, and while we were there, we saw, several times, from the freeway, a pair of bridges, lit up like like a carnival ride. On our last day there (in 111 degree temperatures), we stopped by, towards evening, to stroll the bridge and take pictures. It ends up the bridges are for North Mill Avenue, one north-bound, one south-bound, and it is supposedly over “Lake Town Tempe”, though it seemed like just a river. It was, however, in Tempe. That is true. And it was cool looking.

Marcus and I spent several days in Seattle, visiting Cousin Akian, Aunt Laura and Uncle MacLeod. I thought he might really enjoy the Space Needle (he was ready to go down after two minutes on top); I also thought the highlight would be going to an Angels game at Safeco Field, perhaps the first baseball game Marcus will remember (he has been to at least 6 others, all in his first year, starting at three months, but I don’t think he’ll remember those). Ends up that for Marcus, the highlight of Seattle–and I think this makes him unique among almost all people who have ever visited the Emerald City–was the Monorail. At any rate, we had loads of fun.
