Day 6 - Life in Seattle

We spent this day exploring Seattle and just relaxing. It was a great way to spend a day and we were able to get a good taste of Seattle.

After we had a great breakfast at our hotel we drove to a Water Taxi. This taxi would take us acrossed the Harbor to Seattle (we're actually staying in Tacoma). This offered a great view of Seattle's downtown skyline.




From there we went on to Pike Place Market which was a fish market, flowers, and misc. junk vendors.
It was here that we found the first Starbucks:

A few pigs:


The cast for pirates of the Caribbean 4 (ones out of costume):

We also saw fish tossing, tourists, family, weird junk shops, and a bunch of other things in this market.


After we left the market we headed north to the salmon fish ladder and to the locks. It was an interesting stop and was fun to watch the fish try and jump over the ladder.
After we watched the Salmon for a bit we went and had some fresh Fish n Chips. Even though there was some mumbling about Seafood (we won't reveal the identity of the people) overall we all enjoyed the seafood.

It was another great day in our vacation! We're looking forward to today's journey to Bremerton and to the Olympic Gardens as well.
