Pushing my mother - literally

Today my mother is visiting from far away places and wanted to experience a walk with me. Now, as you know, anywhere on Queen Anne is a hill, it doesn't matter if you leave your door and go left or right, eventually you will come face to face with a hill.

The first hill we came to she said, "I don't think I can do it!" I encouraged her and sure enough she got to the top of 11th W. I dashed up and down the set of 5 stairs along 10th W while she walked the sidewalk. (By the way, the map says that the 5th stair is not public, but that didn't stop me!).

As we approached the end of our short walk we were faced with W Armour. Now, this is a serious hill, the kind with the little concrete steps to help you up. She just stood at the bottom and asked if I would go get the car! No way!

Up we go, pushing her along the way. She did it! Now she has experienced a true Queen Anne hill!

Here she is half way to the top! Go Mom!

At the end, it wasn't quite enough and I went on another adventure. But that is a story for tomorrow!
