Sightseeing in Seattle...

We have had so much fun sightseeing in Seattle... probably not something we would normally do on a visit to see my family, but my Mom's cousin is visiting from South Carolina and we have really enjoyed taking her to see all the neat places here with Mom. I feel guilty being the tag along, be we have laughed and laughed, they don't seem to mind. It is so refreshing to renew my memories of the beauty here in the northwest.
My brother and his wife took us out to dinner and he let 2J's try some of his crab legs... much to my surprise he loves crab legs now, and asks everywhere we go, if they have crab legs.
I knew just the place to get crab legs... one of my favorite places.
Pike Place Market.

Yes, 2J's was drawn right into the crab legs... but we didn't buy any.
We decided it would be much more fun, to have someone prepare them for us.
he he he... well I decided, with much protest from him.

I definately can' grow them like this in my garden.
Fabulous!!!


The Seattle Aquarium was another favorite site....

Dora and Nemo are doing great!


A petting pond... no thanks!


It really was more fun than 2J's makes it look....
he was getting a little camera fatigue.

Speaking of fatigue... some of the animals were a little sleepy,
even my favorite mischievous otters.

they are pretty easy to get a shot of when they are fat and lazy...

We also visited the Glass Art Museum in Tacoma...
They made some amazing glass pieces right in front of our eyes...

Of course we HAD to stop into See's Candies. Just for Auntie in Utah!
Don't worry sis there is no scary chocolate mail on the way to you, but we found
Scotch Kisses to take home to hubby... I hope they make it that far!!
A special treat to go to the top of the Space Needle!
More pics from the top...
We found a new favorite spot I had never been to before that overlooks the Tacoma Narrows Bridge... You know how I love bridges!!
And "bonus"... there's a beach!! A great thinking spot!!
Hubby will love the driftwood I am sneaking home on the plane to him.
And heavy luggage just doesn't live up to it's name without a few rocks in it.

We had to stop at the boy scout office... it is also a magnificent bldg with awesome totem poles!!
Every thing's a joke to this character :)

Sis took us to PF Chang's! My new favorite place to eat!!
2J's loved it even though they didn't have crab legs.
They did live up to all their hype!!
