Home again

Monday 7th July
We had an uneventful flight from Boise to Seattle, the plane followed the Payette River, where we could look straight up the Snake River Gorge to Hell's Canyon, which we hope to visit next trip, and the I84 past Baker City, to Pendleton, where we could see the still snow covered Wallawa Mountains to the North and the broad sweep of the Columbia River as it curved past the Tri City area. Most impressive was dropping through the clouds to see that we were flying alongside Mt Rainier, before landing at Seatac Airport.
We stayed at the Red Roof Hotel for our overnight stopover, the nearest food being at a Denny's, not a good choice. We sat for 70 minutes waiting for our food, though there was a reason - A Convention was in town. The "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" is a convention which fills the area not only with My little Pony fans, but also spawns MLP lookalikes and costumed characters. The overall effect in Denny's was almost surreal and did provide some entertainment while we waited for our meal.
Our flight from Seattle to home went well and we arrived on time and in one piece. The only disappointing aspect was that the food on the Delta flight was miserable, still you can't have everything.
