I can get used to this way of life!

It has been a very busy few days! So busy that updating this, has been tough. Lets start with day 2: Seattle.


The excitement began when every one woke up at like 5am because of the time change that we were not used to yet.

We began at the aquarium across the street. When we entered there was this huge aquarium that had a variety of fish in it. We just missed the scuba diver that went in and fed the fish and did cool tricks in front of everybody. The next room was very cool, you could touch sea urchins and star fish. We walked through some dark halls that had little tanks with a variety of different kind of fish. I got really sidetracted and lost my family when I was taking pictures of the clown fish that looked identical to Nemo. We went down into the underwater dome, that was actually in the ocean. We saw salmon sharks, and lots of other fish. Then, we saw Puffin Birds that were so cute. Outside there was seals, he layed on the plank and posed so I can take a picture. The otters put on quite the show, they were cute coming out of their little holes, jumping in the river and chasing eachother.


For lunch we went to a true fishermans meal. It was called the crab pot. Hense the name, you ordered seafood by the pot. Once you have ordered, they give you bibs, a cutting board, a small fork and a hammer. Those are your only eating utensils. Once the food comes, it is literally dumped on your table. Now its time to dig in and choose what you would like to eat. I was stuffed and tried like 4 different kinds of crab, oysters and clams.

We walked up a giant hill and headed up to the Gum Wall. It is amazing how much gum is on that wall. As you walked in, there was art on the wall. The Pike Place Market began here. The famous guy that throw the fish back and forth was front and center of the market. At the time I wasn't to sure if throwing the fish back and forth or the fact that there was birds in the market amazed me more. We headed up this giant hill to the Irish Kells Pub for drinks. Afterwardss, we walked the rest of the market: Beechers Cheese, the Crumpet shop, the Wine shop etc.

We walked to the pier, and got on the ferry to go to Bermington, just for the ride. It was very pretty leaving the doc, you could see the Space Needle and many other landmarks. I was amazed on the amount of the little islands with houses on them the whole way there.

Our day was coming to an end. We went back to my aunts and had pizza. A very busy day, but yet a very fun day was tiring and we were all ready to go to bed.
