Up early today to eat breakfast and drive into Seattle to
see the sights. First stop, Pikes Place
Market. How fun! Of course, we enjoyed
the fish market and I loved the flower stands.
I wasn’t able to convince Charlie that fresh flowers were just the thing
for a camper traveling down the Pacificcoast.
But the colors and smell were intoxicating!
If I lived in Seattle, I’d go to Pikes Place
every week.
Next stop, the Space Needle.
I have been to Seattle a million years ago and had seen the Space
Needle. This time, Charlie and I rode
the elevator to the top. It was so nice
to see that the rain, and clouds, and smoke had cleared out enough to provide a
pretty view. The elevator ride was
expensive given the time we stayed at the top, but we didn’t begrudge the fee
for helping support this 53 year old World Fair icon. I was tempted to visit the adjacent glass
exhibit, but we couldn’t choke down the $50/person admission fee. Just not a priority for us.
Seeing the Union Lake boathouses was a priority,
however. So neat. We agreed that if we lived here, it would
need to be in a boathouse on Union Lake.
Loved it.
Back at the campground, we ate bison burgers for dinner, the
last of our Yellowstone fare. Charlie
also decided we needed some Key Lime pie for dessert. Yes, it was yummy.
(Stay tuned for some nice video here when I am in an area with better signal strength.)
