Seattle - Wednesday
Today we slept in until 9am and then had breakfast. Then we actually got in our car and drove (first time since we got here on Sunday night!) to the Fremont Area. We walked all around, took pictures of the artwork and statues, went to some silly shops and a really nice guitar shop, "Dusty Strings" which was AWESOME. We're probably going to go back to the shop tomorrow and go home with a nice percussion instrument or two. The kids actually want one of their beautiful wooden harps, but at prices ranging from $2000 - $4500, I'm thinking not. We also saw the Fremont Troll and took lots of pictures. After a really nice lunch at Cafe D'Arte we drove over to the Woodland Zoo and spent the rest of the afternoon there. It's a really small zoo (compared to San Diego) but really beautiful, and I loved the nighttime animal exhibit. I dare say these animals generally look happier than those at the SD Zoo and their habitats also looked a little nicer. Not to take away from the SD Zoo, I'm just stating my opinion from what I've seen. Now we're taking a rest, then we'll find a place for dinner (we're thinking The Crab Pot but we're still playing everything by ear), then who knows. Tomorrow we're waking up early, going to do the Underground Tour, visit the Old Curiosity Shoppe, and start for home. There are a few pics on Flickr, but the majority that we've been taking, and all the nice ones, are on my digital camera. We'll get those up after we get home. That is if Buffy doesn't leave the camera somewhere like she did today at the guitar shop. Oops. Posted by Pischina at August 13, 2008 6:02 PMComments
The Old Curiosity Shoppe is cool. I hadn't been there until last time I was in Seattle in October. We ate lunch at Ivar's and then walked back up the market, checking things out along the way. I bought way too much in the way of souvenirs for people who didn't need them. Mostly postcards though so I didn't spend a ton. I would LOVE to move to Seattle. It's in my plans for eventually in life. I'm glad you guys fit in so much stuff. Posted by: bonkrood at August 16, 2008 2:51 PMPost a comment
