That was fun

This was my first trip to Seattle and had a great time..it's a real artsy city.. The food here is fantastic, especially the seafood. Everyone here is always outdoors and there are thousands of outdoor activities to do.. Seattle is also very earth concious. Lots of going green vehicles and hotels, recycle bins everywhere throughout the city. Our hotel Hyatt Olive 8 is a total green hotel which was cool. I also like seeing all the mixed couples. Everyone gets along with each other not worrying about race...my kind of city...I do see why they call it the rainy city.. Even though it didn't rain while we were here, there was always an overcast and a bit of drizzling. We're definitly coming back again because there's so much more to do and i also want to take a drive to Vancouver which is only 2/3 hrs away. Anyways, time to head on home.. Gonna get some brunch then head to the airport... What an awsome weekend getaway!

Space Needle

The space needle was pretty cool.. Not as tall as our stratosphere in vegas but it was nice seeing the whole city from up top.

We took a monorail to the needle which was $4.00 round trip.. Pretty cheap




The cool thing is when you get to the space needle, at the bottom it's a huge amusement park ... Really cool
