Finally found time to post here

Post by mattswabb »

I've been busy the past few weeks and now have a few hours to relax. 2 weeks ago we were on vacation and spent 5 days at Tybee Island outside of Savannah. We did a few trips into Savannah to look at the old homes and see all the history. Spent some time at the beach as well.

Then we drove to Asheville for a few days and went to Biltmore for a day. I highly recommend that. Very impressive home.

Then home for a week and now I'm in Portland Oregon for work for a few days then to visit Boeing 737 facility in Seattle. Portland so far is at the top of my recommended places to visit. Nice city and great food.

Maybe if it goes up for sale I'll think about it.

I'm back from trip #2. Portland was great and I had a day and a half in Seattle. I got a tour of the 737 manufacturing plant. Very impressive. They get the bare fuselage delivered without wings or anything inside and in 3 days it's a complete plane ready for paint and preflight checks. Their output is 42 a month.

Also went up the space needle and drove around a bit there. They have a serious parking problem. I saw a lot of nice craftsman homes but you're distracted by the congested on street parking and you can't appreciate the area.

Thanks for the Biltmore picture. I love to tour mansions while on vacation; obviously, the Biltmore is on the list. Consider me jealous.
