Seattle

June 8th Wednesday: Last day! We arrived the night before and just hung out at the hotel. Didn't want to unpack too much because we would only have to repack. The hotel was busy with teams of I don't know who but lots of high school and college kids. We had all day to sight-see Seattle, we didn't have to be to the airport until 9:00pm for a "red eye" out of sea tac airport direct to MKE.
We talked about our next trip here. Definitely, we'll need a video camera and we never missed the 2 boxes of clothing we sent ahead to make room for our wine stash--so pack lighter.
Our first stop was the Seattle Art Museum--for 6 hours of parking it cost $30...that hurt! For some odd reason, we didn't bring our cameras for fear of looking like tourist...dah! what were we thinking...so all the picture here are with our iPhones. Here we go:

Don't look up!

WOW!

We were MOST impressed with this:

Cape made with Dog tags! WOW!

Sorry....couldn't resist! LOL!

We had a great time at the museum!

Stopped at a bookstore/bar called Hale's Ales!

Seating was also outside

Walked to the Piers/Shops

Walked all along Pike's Place Market!

We walked through just a portion of downtown known as Belltown. It was the end of the work day and people were everywhere. heading home or to meet friends--retail stores were closing. We did get lost on purpose (by car). Drove past the Needle and all around the city. We didn't see as much as we wanted to in the city--we wanted to see the underground, maybe a few more galleries, There just wasn't enough time in the day and both of us were very tired and just wanted to return our car and catch our flight. Upon arrival to return the car...once again our timing was perfect, the shuttle was waiting for us to take us to the airport. Our luggage was under weight. We made it to our terminal in plenty of time. Surprisingly, it was a full flight and with our luck again, our seats were the first to board -- Jim took his sleeping pill and nighty night until 5:30am
