Seattle Trip recap, day 2

The story starts in Seattle Trip recap, day 1...

So on our trip to Seattle, we planned on going to the Space Needle because on our first trip to Seattle with friends, we didn't get to go.  And then we found out that the Sci Fi Museum was in the same area had us definitely planning on sticking around that area for much of our trip.

First thing in the day, we walked over to the Seattle Center.  It wasn't quite opening time for the museum, so we sat and admired the pretty sky and took some pictures.  A little bit later, we headed in and were one of the first people in.  They had some signs that said No Cameras, and that made me sad, I was excited about taking pictures.  So I put my camera away and tried to keep my bag to the side so they didn't try and take it away!  (I got two pictures when I could pull out my camera phone, but that's it)

We wandered around a bit and ended up in a big exibit room where nobody else was, lol!  We made our way back downstairs to the read exibits and had great fun looking at all of the cool scifi things.  Such a wide variety of fun!  After our exploring, we headed into EMP (Experience Music Project).  I was more excited about my SciFi knowledge, dispite the fact that E is much smarter on books than me.  But going through EMP did have some fun areas that I liked.  If my feet hadn't hurt so much, it would have helped, just too much walking the day before.  My favorite part probably was the Northwest Music area, they had some nice history.

After some hours at those places, we wandered around the rides to see if there was anything we wanted to go on.  With the experience of the monorail, I didn't want to press my luck. ;)  So we sat and watched some of the rides go just for a nice foot resting time :)

From there, we wanted to go up in the Space Needle.  It was a bit of a line to go, but it was such a nice trip up and a beautiful view.  The sky was perfectly blue, which made for good pictures too.

We were hungry by this point and weren't sure where we wanted to eat.  One place that I knew where it was is the Old Spaghetti Factory.  We had gone their on our trip before, so it was kind of a nice idea to go back.  It was still quite a few blocks to get down there, but it was worth it.  Good food, most definitely.

After that, we went back to the hotel and swam in the pool and I soaked in the hot tub for a while to make my legs happier.  It definitely helped!

next up, day 3 with a trip to the library and making our way home...
