Day at the zoo.

Location, Everett, WA

On Monday I went with the ladies to Candi’s treatment session as we planned to go to the zoo after she was done. I sat in the lobby reading until Candi was done. The Cancer Center has free tickets to different tourist things around Seattle and Candi had gotten 2 free zoo tickets. We drove to the zoo over the same route we drove on Saturday but a big difference this time as there was just normal traffic so we got to the zoo in good time.

After parking, we had to stand in line to pay for parking from an automated kiosk. What a pain. It took more than 1/2 hour to get to the head of the line and get our ticket. By then it was noon so we bought one more ticket and went right to the food court for lunch. We spent several hours looking at all the animals but eventually we were ready to leave. As with most zoos, the animals sleep in the afternoon but we did see quit a few who were out and about.

Today, Tuesday, was Candi’s chemo day so Mark came down from Lynden and took her in for the day. They had trouble getting a drip line into her arm so the session was delayed over an hour. They didn’t get back to the RV until 7 PM. Clyda had dinner ready when they got here so we ate and Mark left for home. It is over a 2 hour drive from here.

Clyda cleaned the trailer today while I dumped the tanks and after lunch we went to the Everett Mall so Clyda could get a haircut but one shop wanted $46 for a cut and the other had a long waiting line so we came home. Clyda set up her sewing machine and worked on a quilt while I had a nap.
