Finally! The last set of photos from our vacation trip. We went back into Seattle and had some dim-sum in Chinatown and walked around the streets of Seattle. We eventually ended up in SeaTac (their airport) for our flight home. It was a good trip filled with so many memories and sights to see. I won’t forget how much fun we had. You can see from the photos everyone had a good time.

We spent the entire day in downtown Seattle. First we visited Pike Place Market. Pretty cool place. The highlight was the famous fish tossing stand. We also got to peruse the underground shops below Pike Place Market. We then had lunch at the restaurant near the Waterfront. I forget which one but it was ok. Nothing spectacular. After lunch we went to see the first ever Starbucks coffee shop in Pike Place Market. We then made our way to the Space Needle. We didn’t go up the needle but instead took the “Duck Tours”.

We spent the whole day in Seattle, Washington. We began our day walking through Pikes Place Market. This is the famous open market which features the famous “flying fish” stand where they toss and catch fish. We ate at The Fisherman’s Restaurant on the Pier. We visited the first ever Starbucks and proceeded to walk over to take the Duck tour. The tour had taken us through downtown and gave us some historical tid-bids.

Did you know that

1. They used high pressure hoses to flush out Denny Street because it was way too steep.
2. The Space Needle is 605 feet tall and was built for the World Fair.
3. Most of the buildings in Pioneer Square were resconstructed after the big fire of 18??. No one died but about a million rats died.
4. Seattle has the most library card holders in the nation.

We even got to go in Lake Union to see the home where Tom Hank’s character lived in “Sleepless and Seattle”. After the tour, we went across the street to look up at the infamous Space Needle and visited their gift shop.

For my first major trip of the year, we will be going to watch the Moto GP Round 11 race in Laguna Seca this coming Sunday. Rossi for his first win! We will then drive through the Bay Area to finally reach Beaverton, Oregon. After a couple of days, we’ll be going to Seattle, Washington. We will then go to Vancouver, British Columbia and Victoria Island. We’ll then take a one-way flight back at the end of the trip. This will be my first attempt to blog on the road. Stay tuned for updates!
