Our Trip to Washington State, Part II

Thursday, June 14 – Seattle Center

My day started out with two objectives; to see Seattle Center, where the world renowned Space Needle is located, and to go to Discovery Park, which is located out on the far point of Seattle. It’s a bit more complicated to get to Discovery Park from Seattle Center, because I hadn’t really figured out the metro system there, but as luck would have it, I decided to spend my day at Seattle Center. There was much more going on there than the Space Needle. Don’t get me wrong. The Space Needle was great, and the sights were awesome, but some of the rest of the park had it’s own moments as well. Discovery Park will have to wait for another vacation. I did manage to see a bit of the park on the Locks Cruise the day before – from a distance. That will have to do for now.

I got back to the hotel just in time for the afternoon wine tasting, which took place Monday through Friday from 5:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. in the hotel restaurant. Before long, Kent arrived to pick me up for dinner with a couple of friends from the conference.

Here are a few of the photos from Seattle Center.

I loved this fountain. It would randomly jet out water and the kids would try to avoid being sprayed

The reflections were wild
