Seattle

We arrived in Seattle on Wednesday and stayed until Friday morning. We had a great time and enjoyed the cool weather. We had perfect weather each day we were there. We also had a lot of fun taking in the sights Seattle has to offer.

We stayed downtown at a great hotel that was central to everything. I loved that we could walk anywhere we wanted! The hotel was a Double Tree but is housed in an old building that used to be a men's club. It is still called the Arctic Club and is absolutely beautiful. Rumor has it there are ghosts but we didn't see any. :( All in all our stay was great!

I loved the doors in the hotel. The ones from the hallways to the rooms were bright blue. I didn't get a picture of those but I did get the one to our bathroom inside our room.

And of course no trip is complete unless Brutus tags along. He he is contemplating the price of the snacks in our room.

Of course we had to do all the tourist stuff like go up in the Space Needle.

And take pictures of the skyline from the top of it.


We also did a tour of Underground Seattle. The place that does tours is in the old part of Seattle called Pioneer Square. This is the original part of Seattle that had to be rebuilt after a great fire. It has underground sections because they raised the city due to flooding problems. It was a fun and educational thing to do.

This is the front of the tour building in Pioneer Square.

These are skylights in Underground Seattle. You walk over them on the existing sidewalks never knowing what is underneath!

And of course we had to see them throw fish at the Pike Place Market.

After all these adventures, we headed east to Spokane to see the Gordon family. But more about that later. :)
