Saturday in Seattle

Ok, I am super tired, so I am going to make this quick.

We had another great day today. It was cool, but rained very little.

We went to City Center first. This is like a huge park, originally designed for the World's Fair, and it has museums, theaters, a carnival, and teh Space Needle.

First, we went to the Pacific Science Center. Very neat. Grant and I both liked the Butterfly Garden the best. - Like an atrium but with tons of butterflies. it was very awesome. I also liked the water playground outside, it was like a court yard with water exhibits, like high powered water shooters. We saw a Kiliminjaro Imax that was included in our City Pass.

We had Lunch at the Center House, which is like a big mall food court in the middle of city center. They have cultural festivals inside all year and this weekend was a Turkish festival.

Next, we went to the Science Fiction Museum. (Guess whose idea that was?) It was very diverse; it talked about all kinds of sci-fi, books, movies, tv shows etc. Of course, grant loved all of the Star trek stuff.

Then we went to the Experience Music Project. The interactive stuff was cool, but there wasn;t enough of it. The also had individual pods you could rent that told you more about each exhibit. Very neat, and coul;d be very cool if you were fans of the main people that gave the information. (Wilson Phillips, for example, did a lot of the information.)

Suprisingly we were done earlier then we expected. So we headed up to the Ballard Locks and watched some boats go through. Then we went to Discovery PArk, which was formerly a Naval BAse. Discovery Park was beautiful, with Fall coloring the trees red and gold. We found some little ponds and a place to look out at the bay.

Next we had dinner on the water front. Grant had coconut crusted salmon and I had crab legs....yummy! Perhaps the best crab I have ever had!

We ended are evening by going up to the top of the Space Needle. It was cccccold, but the view was awesome. Grant and I split a hot chocolate and enjoyed the sights.

Ok, Gonna get some sleep now! (o:
