Hi guys, This is the downtown Seattle monorail building. Inside is a large mall with an eatery upstairs beside the doors to enter for the monorail. We took the monorail to the Seattle needle to view the city from up high. During the summer, all around the needle, are several rides and exhibitions to view. It's a great place to spend the day.
We also toured the downtown area where a place called "Pikes Place Market" is established and runs daily selling anything and everything you've ever wanted - not needed however. A very cool place. The people were so nice in the city.
We also spent a day touring Tacoma. We visited the court house, the art museum, the glass museum and the most favourite of all, the U of Washington's campus bookstore. On another day we went back into Tacoma to the Tacoma Dome to go through their beads and precious stones event.
The rest of the week we hung out with Darrin, Kristie (G's nephew and niece) and the girls. We had a great time visiting with the whole family as Laura, Gerhard's sister, came over to stay, as well as, Chris and Tanya (other nephew and niece). We had a great time loving up their dog and taking her for long walks. A huge family affair. Just like an early Xmas. We are headed today to Corvallis, Oregon to visit with Helga and husband, G's cousin. Hopefully we can get more family background stuff straightened out. We are holding off a bit to give the huge fires near Los Angeles time to clear of the smoke so that we can visit Disneyland, which is near to there.
Both of us are healthy and ready to be on the road again.
