We’re in Seattle! Or as we like to say ‘Sea-at-el’ just to mess with the locals. We only have tonight and tomorrow here, so we wanted to do as many Sea-at-el things that we possible could do. On our list of things to do was the Space Needle, taking a rowboat out on Lake Washington and then see the aquarium. We made sure that one of the luxury hotels in Seattle was close by to do everything on are itinerary.

The Space Needle, which the Seattle’s tower for viewing the entire cityscape was pretty expensive. Tomorrow, we’ll be in New York where there are taller buildings, so we didn’t bother to pay the high price to go up the Needle, but we did take a photo of ourselves in front of the Needle, that was free. Next to the Space Needle is the Science Center and a children’s playground. We ran all around the playgrounds, which offered us some great photo ops, we acted all crazy and laughed until it hurt. We had to sit down afterwards, we really managed to exhaust ourselves.

We needed to get a move-on in order to complete our itinerary, we made it to the Seattle Aquarium and scratched off the row-boating, didn’t have time. The aquarium was nothing outstanding, but we still managed to have a laugh or two, because there were several interactive things designated for the children to do, but as you can tell, we’re big children. We had fun messing around and taking more photos. After a great wrestling match with an octopus, we posed next to the tank of ‘Nemo and Dory’. Then it was off to the feeding the seals extravaganza. All the seals looked alike to us, so we moved on and we thought we saw Claire Danes by the tropical fish area, we slowly worked our way right up next to her; we were all giddy, and then she turned our way and that’s when we could see it wasn’t her. Dang!

Well, at least Sea-at-el proved to be so much fun even if we only had a day here.
