The first few day sof our vacation was FULL of driving. We saw some lovely scenery...

The Columbia River



Prairie blue skies (although, we did see a lot of rain too)




And a lot of random statues in random small towns

And we did a lot of this...watch movies, eat on the run, all that fun stuff

Our first "real" stop was Seattle.

We visited the Speace Needle

Pikes Place market

Walked around the historic downtown, stopped in for some gelato

Watched the sun set over the bay and watched ferries dock

Anywhere there was a wifi connection, this is what the teenager did (frantically trying to communicate with his girlfriend :)

And then we re-visited the Space Needle and travelled to the top at night.

The view from the top was lovely but difficult to capture without a tripod :(

Tons of fun and more to come....
