Seattle...in two weeks

I have shared with a few people about going to Washington.  It is amazing how many people think I am going to Washington DC. It is on the other coast people.

As one should do, I have been asking around to get friend references as to where to visit.  So far the number one recommendation is.....

The Seattle Needle seems to be the thing that sticks out to most.  That and the....

The fish market.  I have a list already of stuff to see and try.  They have tours but I am more excited about wondering around and finding the treasures that are there and stopping at Three Girls Bakery for a meatloaf sandwich.    
I have been digging and found that the Seattle Aquarium sounds pretty amazing.  There are some great exhibits on the Giant North Pacific Octopus (a freaky looking thing), and they even have a ferry tour.  I am hyped about the ferry tour.

The thing that I am most looking forward to is going whale watching.  It will be a safari on the ocean, I can think of no better dream come true.

I really want to take the Kodiak explorers.

I am so excited this will be a blast.  Hope everyone has a great Friday!

  1. Don't mention to the Octopus that you know me or it could be trouble for you. Please don't turn your back to them either. They will take advantage of any weakness you show just to spite me. Having confidence that the glass wall seperating you from the cephalopod will protect you is naieve. Know where all the exits are located when you enter the squid room and don't be afraid to step over someone just to save yourself. Now I am going to worry that your safety until I hear the aquarium visit has come and gone.

  3. You MUST take the tour of underground Seattle!! It is awesome. When you are in Pike's market, there is a place that has plate sized molasses cookies that are to die for! You can bring some of those back for me. Take the time to drive out to Mt. Ranier and Mt. St. Helens. They both make for beautiful drives.
