Beautiful Day in Seattle!

We have a couple days off until the next fair starts, so Joe and I decided to go to Seattle! Joe has never been to Seattle before so he was excited to go. We parked on Harbor Ave, by Seacrest Park and took the Water Taxi over to Downtown Seattle. The water taxi is way cool and fun for me because the first year I started doing this with my father, we took that over to downtown Seattle. It's nothing super amazing, but it is cool to say that you've done it and got to see the Seattle skyline. Anyway, on the water taxi you get to see a lot of cool sights. Some things we saw was a Fire Boat, like a fire truck, but a boat and a Navy plane. They were both way cool to see and they were super close to us!

When we docked in Seattle we walked over to Pike's Place. A must see location in Seattle. They have almost everything there. To clothes, flowers, fish, live entertainment, to bums, jewelry, assorted fruits and veggies, to artwork...a lot of stuff. It's really neat and a lot of fun. I bought some fresh blackberries and raspberries. They were delicious! Oh, there is this one fish market place there and the team throws fish and crab when someone orders it and they yell...a lot! It's really funny. When we were there they threw three crab and a huge fish. They can also get tips and when they do they yell "We gotta Tip! Yay!" Very fun! A must see place for sure! We also walked down Post Alley where you can see the Wall of Gum! Yuck!

After Pike's Place we walked to the Space Needle! We checked out various shops along the way. One of which was a comic shop, which Joe loves. We also stopped along the way to take pictures of the cool architecture they had. The Needle was cool to see from down low and at a distance, we didn't go up because it was pretty pricey. Afterwards, we walked around some more and headed back over to wrap up the day. Stopped at a couple chocolate/souvenir shops, one which had these cute truffles! I had to take a picture for my nephew Elliot, because of the elephants! So cute!

So, we wrapped up the day by watching the famous spray painters of Seattle. It's crazy to see the art work that can be done with spray paint. There are so many very talented people out in the world! Crazy! We took the water taxi back over to Seacrest park, then took a few more pictures as we said Goodbye to Seattle. We had a ton of fun and really enjoyed being tourists for a day!
