My adventures are as diverse as my friends. I'm an advid long-distance bike rider, cook, author, artist, volunteer, mother, grandmother, and wife.

What a wonderful day! 😍🏙️ Today I joined the Wall

What a wonderful day! 😍🏙️

Today I joined the Wallingford Community Senior Center for my first outing with them, and what a way to start! Our destination was the historic Smith Tower, thanks to SDOT and HopeLink.

We took the bus downtown and kicked things off with lunch at Tat’s Deli on Yesler near 2nd Avenue. The place was packed with the lunchtime crowd, but our orders had been called in ahead of time. And surprise! I hadn’t realized lunch was included in this FREE outing. The food was delicious, and I certainly wasn't going to turn down a free meal! 🥪😋

After lunch, we headed to Smith Tower for a guided tour and learned all about its fascinating history. I’d visited the observation deck back in 2017 with David and Heather Hicks, who were visiting from Arkansas, but that was a self-guided visit. This time, I got the historical scoop, too!

Things have changed since 2017. Back then, the elevators were still operated manually by staff. Now they're automated. And from the observation deck, I used to be able to look up 2nd Avenue and see the Space Needle. These days? A new building has spoiled that view. Progress, I suppose! 😂

We had time afterward to enjoy a coffee and take in the spectacular views of Seattle from the observation deck before catching the bus back to the senior center.

But wait, there's more! SDOT even gave each of us a $12 ORCA card for transportation! 🚌💳

Let's review: free transportation, a delicious free lunch, a free guided tour of a Seattle landmark, gorgeous views, coffee time, AND $12 toward future bus rides.

Who says you have to spend a fortune to have a fabulous day out? Not me! ❤️

Have you ever visited the Smith Tower observation deck? And if you haven't, what Seattle landmark would you love to explore?

🎤🚲 **Guest Speaker Outfit Dilemma!** 🚲🎤

Tonight I’m the guest speaker at a bike club event, and while everyone else will be dressed casually, I decided to kick my outfit up a notch. 😉

Now I just have to make the *really* tough decision…

**Which outfit do you think looks best on me?** 🤔

The **burgundy jacket with black boots** or the **brown jacket with brown boots**?

Help me choose! 👇
