The next morning, view from our hotel while leaving. Snow on the mountain top!
4 days later and we are still surviving each other. Ha ha!
The scenery changed - so pretty! Love the tall trees:
Bridge! It's actually one for the animals to cross over. When we were living near Los Angeles, I remembered they were going to build one of these across the freeway as well:
Pretty mountains - really miss these views:
Okay, decided to drive towards Snoqualmie:
There's a waterfall near here - hopefully it won't take too long to get to:
Bridge!
It was busy and parking was a little tricky, but thankfully the walk to the falls was quick. Cool!!
First completely underground hydroelectric plant!
Family we-fie:
Perhaps we need one of these at home??
Onward to Seattle - keeping track of modes of public transportation here since we'll be giving up our rental car pretty soon:
I guess we could have driven to Vancouver, but we are planning on taking the train there:
Trying to travel light, but still needing these luggage racks. LOL!
Returning the rental car, and what's that in the background??
Check out those unmarked airplanes. Seems that there's a Boeing factory here:
So we returned the car, and then Bob and I stood next to each other and I said, "Now what?!". It was going to cost us SO MUCH just to get an Uber. And so.... we decided to rent another car. LOL!!!
Seems that we can't seem to go anywhere without a car. Ha!
Everyone is all buckled up, including Graham's little stuffed animal/friend :-)
We decided to just drive out to a little town called Edmonds:
Edmonds to Kingston Ferry - not today though!
So many boats being stored here:
Starfish!!
Quite the pier here:
These little fish installations are too cute!
Photo op - Graham is still hanging on to my big camera! He loves taking photos of airplanes:
Time for some ice cream:
Probably one of my favorite moments of the trip - just sitting along the beach, relaxing with Bob and the boys:
Some amazing murals along the way:
We walked up the hill and found this cute little fountain / roundabout:
Love this one!
Charlie is getting tired of me taking photos of murals. Ha ha!
I don't know how he can be comfortable in that position. Ha ha!
The next day, Bob takes Graham to the Boeing "Future of Flight". Too bad we couldn't all go. Tickets were too expensive!
How about the size of this tail!??
Graham was so happy to be here and seeing the production line. There were no photos allowed unfortunately, so this is all we have:
Can never get him away from screen time!
Okay, onward into the city. Bridge!
You can see the "Needle". No plans right now to visit though - again, tickets are too expensive!
There it is:
More murals:
Buses on lines:
Tree??!
We're finding our way to Pike Place Market. Cool mural!!
Wow, that's a big cruise ship:
Seems like everyone needs a Ferris wheel :-)
As you can tell, I really like this mural. I believe this is part of the aquarium:
O.M.G, we found the most amazing biscuits!!
The first ever Starbucks. And the line was soooo long. Crazy!
Quite the market!
The famous spot where they throw the fish. Amazing how it's such a tourist attraction!
Okay, the best mural yet in the city!
Followed by the worst spot. Seriously - an alley full of chewing gum?! Totally grossed out!!
How can this possibly be a tourist attraction?! We actually accidentally stumbled into this area:
Ya, definitely not top of my list. Ha!
The apple cider on the other hand... so many different flavors! You would purchase one cup and you can return for several refills. Or at least Graham did. Ha ha!
We found a little restaurant that served dumplings and noodles:
All very hungry at this point!
At some point, we'll get up there - but not today:
I guess this will be as close as we will get to the Needle:
Thankfully the boys were not persistent about seeing it:
Finding our way to the train station - to prep for tomorrow. We will be taking the train to Vancouver tomorrow morning!
To be continued...
