Sights of Seattle

We started our Monday touring off with the infamous ferry ride. For many of our visitors, this is a first trip on a ferry and just adds to the excitement. But our excitement actually started before the ferry even left the dock in Bremerton as a fellow tourist took off the mirror of Shaun's rental car while parking on the ferry. NOTE TO SELF: Always leave more than enough room and if you think you might hit a car, just inch around them instead of going fast enough to take off the mirror.

Another family photo opportunity.
The day was a little cloudy but the sun peaked through at the end of our escapade. John Paul has noticed the seagulls this trip. I have pointed them out several times, but this time he took notice. He is growing more and more each day!
We toured Seattle on the Duck! It is an amphibious vehicle so the first hour was around downtown Seattle and the last 30 minutes were touring Lake Union. It was really interesting and fun (and I am usually not a fan of these sort of things, )but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see Seattle in a fun, downhome, cheesy sort of way. QUACK!!
And the Space Needle. Would it be a visit to Seattle without the Space Needle?
Or Pike's Market. I actually saw someone buy a fish at the Fish Market. Most of the times I go there, there are TONS of tourists waiting for someone to buy a fish so they can see the infamous throwing of the fish.
