Sightseers in Seattle


Most people remembers Sleepless in Seattle, the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks movie of the previous decade. The City of Seattle, I'm sure, appreciated the tourism boost the film gave them. Well, count my family and me as one more group of tourists that hit the Emerald City by the sea because of it.


The Space Needle. Seattle's answer to Dallas' Reunion Tower, Chicago's Sears Roebuck, or New York's Empire State Building. We weren't planning on having lunch up there but they were charging an arm and a leg for just the lookout level. So I thought, "Why not get the whole experience?" So we had lunch, kinda expensive, the kind I would only indulge in once a decade.



Betty had lamb, prompting a protest from Nathan, saying, "You can't eat lamb. It's like eating Jesus." Someone remind me to check what his Sunday school teacher has been teaching him. Oh wait, I'm in charge of what's being taught in church to the kids.


While in Seattle, we visited with Ms. Christina Fong and rode the ferry. Ms. Christina showed us some of the sights. including this gorgeous flower. Unfortunately I'm not a flora person so I don't know what it is.
