Our Seattle Visit With Glenn beck

We left home at 5:00am and headed for Seattle to see Glenn Beck
headline for the Freedom Foundation funraiser. What a grand time we had!
I love going to the city, even if its just for a few hours!!
Welcome to Portland!!
I love to drive across the bridges that freeway over the river
and rip off in all directions in downtown Portland!


The bridges that span the Columbia river into Washington





The Tacoma Dome

Six hours later, Seattle, here we come!!

Thats Safeco Field there, the big erector looking thing!






There is it!


Safeco Field, home of the Mariners, and right behind it is the Seahawks Quest field.

Steven and Steve were excited by this car! ha


Home plate entrance. . . and the line begins!






They were hoping for 1800, but had a turnout of 7000!!

Our funny little group! Sue and Steve and Steven and I


There were protesters on the other side of the street, but they were a small group.

Horseback police officers!! Cool

Doors opened at 1200, we could be seated at 1230.
These seats on the field sold for 250.00 each!! That included a book and lunch, ha!!
For 500.00, you got to meet Glenn before and you got lunch and a book!!
For 25.00, you got a seat!! No lunch, no book!! HAHAHAH


The crowds are coming



It was soooo hot, and wewere there for three hours. . .people were getting creative
with ways to block the sunshine.


Fox News!







Theres GLENN!!! In the pink shirt!!


This gentleman gave a dramatic presentation from a soldiers
heart. . it was amazing!!!

Everyone stood the whole time out of respect for him

They had all the veterns stand and it brought tears, and then they had all the active
soldiers stand, and that drew a HUGE ovation!!

Mr/Brother Glenn Beck
Glenn gave one of his usual great talks/speeches/testimonies. . .how ever you look at it.
He shared things about his roots in Washington, about his faith and his convictions.
He talked politics. . surprise there!! He talked about his love of this country and
the Constitution, about the soldiers and what we, as Americans need to do to make this country a better place and to make sure our children have the same dreams to look forward
to as we did.


Glenn is from Mt. Vernon and so Seattle is home, he was RELLY well received,
for his politics, his values, his faith and his Washington roots!!





SeaTac is really close, so there were planes over head all afternoon,
it was pretty cool!
