Seattle

We flew to Seattle from Indy (after our fun 4th of July weekend at Brent's with the whole family) for Don to accept his "Court of Honor" award from the National High School Basketball Coaches Association.  We landed Monday late afternoon, checked into the Washington Athletic Club and walked to the wharf area for dinner at Aqua on Pier 70.

Tuesday we enjoyed the day to ourselves to be tourists:  delicious breakfast and then doughnuts, the Space Needle, the Chilhuly Garden and Glass, riding the Monorail, heading to the Pike Place Market, dinner out with cousin Jeff and Mary at Palisade,

 As a 10 year old my family went to Seattle for the opening of the World's Fair.  I was so interested in all the history of the Space Needle.  (It seemed taller when I was 10!  Now it's dwarfed by the taller buildings near by.)

The Chilhuly Garden and Glass
Artist Chilhuly with his blown glass inside and outside.  Beautiful!!
