I was at a conference in Seattle last week.  It was held on Lake Washington.  The weather was nice and the lake beautiful.  The hotel was right on the water and there was a walking trail that followed the shoreline for quite a ways.

A park stood next to the hotel, which I wandered through a few times, and to top it all off, they had an Ivar’s right on the water.  So, of course, I had to get some clam chowder while I was there.  Delicious!

I’m not sure it was worth the 5-hour flight, but it was good.
