Seattle: Part II

As promised, Part II of our Seattle anniversary adventure is up for your viewing pleasure :).

Thursday we headed to Pike Place Market bright and early!  If you plan on visiting Seattle anytime in the near future, I would recommend doing exactly as we did.  We were able to walk through the market without the crowds of people and got a table at Lowell's (a restaurant in the market) without any problem.

After breakfast, we walked through the market some more and then headed to the EMP museum and the Space Needle.  The EMP museum was interesting, to say the least.  We saw exhibits on Nirvana, horror movies, and the Seahawks.  

Of course I had to take a picture of the Wizard of Oz costumes on display at the EMP museum :)

Quick fact we learned after we went up the Space Needle: a local man was talking to us about our trip and suggested we go to Columbia Tower.  Evidently, it allows for an even better view than the Space Needle and is half the price!

After our bird's eye view of the city, we headed back to the market to try some of Beecher's famous mac & cheese and oh my was it delicious!

Thursday evening, we had scheduled a boat ride to Blake Island for dinner at Tillicum Village and Native American stories and dancing.  It was so much fun!

Smoked salmon for dinner=yum.

Friday morning, we walked to the market again to try Piroshky Piroshky and it was just as yummy as we had read.  We then made our way back to Pioneer Square for Bill Speidel's Underground Tour.  It was fascinating to learn all about Seattle's history and see the underground streets that were built upon after the fire in the 1800s.

That afternoon, we had a tour scheduled at the Boeing factory to see all of the planes and then we made our way to Safeco Park for a Mariners game.

Our trip was so much fun and the weather sure beat this Kansas heat!  I cannot wait for our next adventure together!
