 | June 7th 2007 - Microsoft is one of the world's biggest software companies and I was lucky enough to visit their Employee Store and their Visitor Center. My uncle used to work there but he left Microsoft a few months ago. We went there to see their Visitor Center which basically is a museum with the history of how computers and Microsoft have evolved over time. It also gives us a glimpse of some things in the future. It was a small center and we spent a few minutes there. I got to take a picture with all the Microsoft founders too. :-) |
We also met one of my uncle's friend, Campbell which came there to help us buy some software at Employee prices. My father said the prices were really good. My mother purchased a "Microsoft Kid" shirt for me. How nerdy!!

| June 2nd, 2007 - Spice Route is a new restaurant that opened in Bellevue and my uncle thought that it would be a good idea to go there for lunch. We got there a little before noon and managed to get a table very quickly. They had a buffet with lots of tasty options with both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian dishes. I ate some Naan and a sample of various dishes that my parents fed me. My parents and uncle enjoyed the food a lot. I sat in my high chair for a few minutes but after that I wanted to run around the restaurant. They had a little stage in one corner and I started running on it and it kept me busy. |
It was good we came in early because around 1, there was a huge mob outside waiting for place. Seems like this place is very good.
Visiting Seattle

 | June 1st, 2007 - Seattle is where my uncle Sachin lives and my mother and I had never visited Seattle before, so this trip was long pending. We took a Friday evening flight into Seattle and got in late around 10 PM. I was very unhappy in the flight and kept crying and my poor parents had to take me to the back of the flight to keep me entertained. The air-stewardesses were very nice to me. One elder American gentleman spoke to me in Hindi and said "Sab theek ho jayega beta". Strange but true. |
I am excited to be in Seatlle and am looking forward to visiting some of the landmarks like the Space Needle, the Public Market, Snoqualmie Falls and other interesting places. Please keep reading my blogs.
