Seattle, Washington

Seattle was our next stop.
Two days spent in here...

It is such a huge city.  We visited the Space needle on the first day.  The view from the outside elevator was literally breath taking. For those of you that knowBert and his fear of heights!!!!. 
Then it was a quick circle on the inside observation but in a short time Bert was outside on the observation deck 570 feet above the city and taking in all the awesome views of the entire city.    



Day two 8/29/14 we spent the morning at the Boeing Plant.  It was amazing... The plant building is large enough to fit all of Disney World plus 16 acres of parking inside.  We took a 90 minute tour which consisted of two bus rides and two views of the planes being assembled, can you believe an assembly line.  This plant had a very strict policy of privacy.  No personal items allowed inside and no cameras or phones allowed in side.  


 Then off to Pike Place Market, unbelievable!!!!!!!!! 
 This is the famous fish market that has been on "60 minutes TV Show" for the customer interaction and fish throwing.  The guys yell a lot and entertain the customers as they are wondering around giving free sample of smoked salmon or fish jerky.  Fun place to be... in the back of the crowd.
 This place goes on forever, both sides of the street for three or four blocks.  Each of these store fronts are layered with more stores and resturants inside not visible from the street.
