Seattle Trip

We went to Seattle this last weekend for Sheila’s birthday (the other couple with us are friends of ours, Rob & Lynn). We had a great time and just thought I would share. (Just click on images for full size)

Day one:
We left Kelowna quite late on Friday due to some unforeseen incident, a purse being left behind…Sheila. We arrived in Everett, Washington quite late and drove around a bit. Found a cool new Hotel (Holiday Inn) and that’s about it.

Day Two:
We went to Boeing first thing, quite cool. Apparently the building where all the planes are built is the largest covered building in the world… Did the big tour there and also the new Future of flight museum, which was ok… It wasn’t completely finished yet.



Then we drove downtown Seattle to check out a part of downtown that had burned out over one hundred years ago. I guess they had rebuilt over top of the old (Underground) and a few caverns underground still remain. Kinda spooky and touristy at the same time. Found a great little authentic Italian restaurant and had a delicious Bday meal.



Day three:
This was a long and boring shopping day… hence no photos of the day time. And on top of that we all were going to a Circus that evening. Thank God I have some good news, the Circus turned out to be a neat experience. It was better than I was expecting, it was a good show… I laughed, I cried, ya know



Day four:
This was a good day, not because we were heading back home but because we were on the hunt for go-carts… and boy did we find them. I have no photos of that other then one with Lynn in her racing overalls… nobody could keep us still long enough for one. We have some video footage of the craziness; maybe I’ll be able to post that sometime if possible, Rob?

That’s pretty much it, Cheers!
