Bristol Palin, you are 18 years old now, that's an adult, you have a child. Put on your big girl underwear and make decisions for yourself.

Traveling Part II

...So on Wednesday, we went on a local bus tour of Seattle. We were the only ones on the bus which was pretty nice. We learned a lot about the city and also got to take some great photos. We then walked around by the space needle, but decided we wouldn't be able to see "the mountain" (Mt. Rainer) and that we should come back the next day. So we went to the sculpture garden instead, very similar to the one in Minneapolis. On Wednesday night we were able to eat dinner with Stacie at Wasabi, a sushi restaurant.

On Thursday, we went to the space needle and the experience music project. The EMP was very cool, almost as cool as the outside of the building. Unfortunatly, I don't know that my photos captured just how cool it was. When we were walking back to the hotel we stumbled upon a glass blowing studio and go to see the blowers in action. I had also seen that in Italy, but it's very cool. I recommend that to everyone. Then we went to dinner at Dinette which we saw on the Food Network with Rachel Ray.

Friday, we took Stacie to the Pike Place Market and got some mini donuts for breakfast that we had found a couple days prior. Then we walked down to Pioneer Square so we could go on the Underground Tour. (History lesson) When Seattle was first built, it would flood twice a day due to the tides. In the late 1800's downtown Seattle burned to the ground. When they rebuilt, they filled in the existing streets with concrete to raise them up and under the sidewalks is hollow. There are 30 original buildings or partial buildings and you can take an Underground Tour to see them and learn about what happened. It was pretty cool. After that, we went back down by the Pike Place Market and had some drinks outside on a patio. Then we went to dinner and slept for an early morning.



Saturday, we met a friend for breakfast before flying back home. If anyone wants to know all of my useless Seattle trivia, let me know, I'll be happy to divulge.
