I Went to Seattle for Six Days...

... and all I have to show for it are these four photos.  Despite the fact that I got to spend time with dear cousins and cherished friends, meet famous authors and hobnob with publishers, I only took my camera out three times.  And one of those times was to take pictures of fish.  Here you go:

 

With my friend and fellow Newbery committee mischief-maker, Ellen, during a reception at the Space Needle

 

Same reception, same fellow mischief-maker, with Elsworth on the observation deck!  Can't you see the lights of Seattle below?  Okay, imagine them.  Ellen was the first-ever Mary Poppins at Disney World.  She is totally Mary Poppinsy. 

 

 

Don't worry, I escaped the convention center long enough to walk through Pike Place Market.  I had to giggle at these little signs...
